About-the-Song Series, Track 1: "Woe."

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.  Enter the sound of a "Hell's bell."  Then, "WOE" ushers in a weeping steel guitar, symbols and snake-like tambourine.
"Woe" is a song of vengeance.  It's angry.  It's sassy.  It's sarcastic.  It's written to our One True Enemy on behalf of all who live by Grace.
....
I get angry sometimes!  Frustrated, full of attitude and umph!  Sometimes at myself. Sometimes at other people. Sometimes at God. Sometimes I don't know why! It's tiring!
I asked God one day, "Why did you create this emotion?  I don't always like it!"  
...But, it must not be all bad!?  I mean, He created it for some good reason.  Even though showing anger is mostly taboo, God got angry sometimes, and Jesus was never short of smart one-liners when it was necessary (if you don't know him, you should; you'd really like him).
My question changed to: "How do I take this emotion of anger and use it for good instead of destroying my life and the lives of  the people around me?  How do I be angry, and at the same time, be anchored in humility toward You, my Faithful Friend, and toward others?"
A paradigm shift happened. "Woe" is my answer.  Can't wait for you to hear it!!!
