Deadly Insolence - Sarah Poulin (original)

I wrote this song when I was 16, before I became a Christian (when I was 21). I wrote it because... well... I hated school. Elementary & high school. I was really angry and depressed because of all the people that thought they were "better" than me, and the way that they treated me; hence the word "insolence."

I didn't yet know the true God of the bible. I "prayed" to and believed in a god that I (unknowingly) made up in my own mind; one that I was more comfortable with. I realize now that idolized having friendship and "popularity," so I was angry with the way my life was. Friendship and popularity aren't evil in it of themselves, but I didn't realize that all those things don't matter apart from Christ. I lived with a "entitlement" type of attitude. I know now that I deserve nothing but God's wrath.

"Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it." (Psalm 127:1) I sought everything apart from God, so of course I was angry and depressed and wrote "Deadly Insolence"! I decided to record it and upload it because it shows who I used to be, what I used to think like, and how God can save a wretch like ME!!! Just like King Solomon said: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." (Ecclesiastes 1:2). Everything is vanity apart from Christ and his substitutionary work on the cross!!!

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." (Psalm 73:25-26)
