Exodus
22:22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
22:23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
22:24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Kejam rupanya ancaman dari Allah itu kepada kita, bila kita membuka kembali kitab Keluaran pasal ke 22:22-24 yang sering kita lupakan: ‘Seseorang janda atau anak yatim janganlah kamu tindas. Jika engkau memang menindas mereka ini, tentulah Aku akan mendengarkan seruan mereka, jika mereka berseru-seru kepada-Ku dengan nyaring. Maka murka-Ku akan bangkit dan Aku akan membunuh kamu dengan pedang, sehingga isteri-isterimu menjadi janda dan anak-anakmu menjadi yatim.’
Bila aku kemaren membahas tentang Collin Raye dan tembangnya yang berjudul ‘Love Remains’ maka hari ini mau beri sedikit gambaran seperti apa itu tembang Collin Raye yang berjudul ‘The Eleventh Commandment’. Liriknya seperti biasa aku sertakan dibawah ini, terutama bagi semua orang yang tidak mempunyai CD nya atau copy dari rekamannya, agar dapat ikutan membaca, memahami dan mengerti apa yang kubahas.
Banyak komentar mengenai tambang ini yang telah aku baca dan beberapa reviews telah aku cermati, aku tak mau kasi komentar lebih banyak, hanya sekedar memberikan kembali sebelas komentar itu disini. Maaf dalam bahasa Inggris, karena aslinya aku copy paste aja.
1. No one knows what its like unless they have been through it. For those who have i wish you happiness and growth from your pain.
2. Such a sad song, but most of the truthful ones are very moving.
3. There are all types of abuse. I was abused by my own father but it is hard when I heard this song it made me want to stand up for all abused children from ‘emotional abuse’ to the ‘sexual abuse’. No matter what type, it is still scaring to have going on. It is something that we should so stand up for them. Let them know they are cared for because we all do like the song says ‘God doesn't over look it, honour thy children’.
4. For all you who rape and beat your children, or anyone for that matter, you hope I never find you, because I will gladly beat you to death.
5. I first heard this song round my friends, I'm survivor of abuse and was molested as a young child, I live with this pain every day of my life and when I close my eyes I have flash backs and hear my abusers deep breathing, I'm haunted by wot happed to me, people that can do this to children need killing, this song is so moving, it always brings a tear to my eye, fantastic song.
6. This song is great and does speak the truth about alot of children this song has made me cry and I rarely ever cry. I have 2 boys I love dearly and would never hurt them, granted I dont have them I will do whatever I can to visit them, but this is a good song but extremally heart breaking for me to watch because I don’t understand how people can just sit there and hurt the children of this world.
7. I was raped, abused and molested when I was 14 my parents blamed me for it. Nobody would believe me or tell me ‘it’s okay your safe now’, I was all alone. Now that I’m 24 and I work with babies. Everytime they cry I run over to them and comfort them so nobody would hurt them. Nobody was their for me so now I have to be their for the children that I watch and look after.
8. My mom beat me and sold me to the neighbors so she could get high. And when she couldn’t get high she beat me more. I didn’t understand what the pain was. I didn’t know how to deal with it and I didn’t know what I did wrong. I saw and heard this song and it brought back everything. I grew up and found out it all. Collin Raye, thank you so much for bringing to light the pain that kids feel from abuse. Thank you so much.
9. You are absolutely right. They will have their judgement day. But, until then, we as a people have to do something to stop child abuse! This is simply not acceptable!
10. This song makes me want to visit violence upon those who would abuse helpless children. I am sitting here, shaking, because of the cruelty of some people. But, at the same time..I know than when the judgment day comes, they're gonna get what they deserve.
11. Someone had asked what my cousins did to me when I was younger.. I was raped from the age of three until I turned twelve and got the courage to tell my family... They were around 16 when it started and I still live with the impact of what happened. Currently I am attending therapy to help coop with it.
Tapi jangan lupakan juga perintah baru dari Tuhan di dalam Yohanes 13:
(34) Aku memberikan perintah baru kepada kamu, yaitu supaya kamu saling mengasihi; sama seperti Aku telah mengasihi kamu demikian pula kamu harus saling mengasihi.
(35) Dengan demikian semua orang akan tahu, bahwa kamu adalah murid-murid-Ku, yaitu jikalau kamu saling mengasihi.
Oke semoga bermanfaat. Dan ingat ‘The 11th commandment is the 1st commanment: God exists in every Person! Honor Thy God in Thy Children! He created His Children that they should live. Let us honor them as they should be!’
She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps commin´ closer down the hall
She has so ashamed she has daddy´s secret love
She wants to die, she wants to cry
But he can not get enough
The bruses on his face will go away
Mom keeps him home from school ´til they fade
She has sorry he was born, and tells him so
He takes it in, he hangs his chin
He ducks another blow
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The 11th Commandment
Honor thy children
He cries for hours, cries & never stops
He shakes so hard his little craddle rocks
He will never have the chance to be brand new
He will never walk, he will never talk
He has addicted, too
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The 11th Commandment
Honor thy children
Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not steal
Thou shall not take the Lords name in vain
Thou shall not cause thy children pain
God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The 11th Commandment
Honor thy children
Honor thy children.
