Flyleaf sings tribute to Cassie Bernall and Rachel Joy Scott

Dylan Bennet Klebold asked if Cassie believed in God, while she was in the Columbine high school library, she said "Yes," then shot her point blank in the head, shooting off one of her fingers, as she covered her head, killing her instantly.

Flyleaf - Cassie (Acoustic)

Eric David Harris also shot Rachel Joy Scott in the leg, arm and torso, just outside Columbine High, as she sat on the grass eating lunch with a friend. Eric then asked, "Do you believe in God?, she answered, "You know I do?". Eric then replied, "Then go be with him," he then shot her point blank in the head.

Rachel Joy Scott

"Cassie" -By Flyleaf


Cassie - Flyleaf with lyrics


Rachel Joy Scott is also mentioned in this song

Flyleaf "Cassie"

The question asked in order
To save her life or take it
The answer no to avoid death
The answer yes would make it
Make it

Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger

All heads are bowed in silence
To remember her last sentence
She answered him knowing what would happen
Her last words still hanging in the air
In the air

Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Rachel pulled the trigger

How many will die
I will die
I, I will say yes

Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger

(Do you believe)
Do you believe in God (Do you believe)
Do you believe in God (Do you believe)
Do you believe in God
And I will pull the trigger

Cassie Bernall
An excerpt from the book, "She Said Yes," written by Cassie's mother, Misty Bernall.​

Crystal (Cassie's friend) lost track of Cassie once the shooters entered the room, and there are conflicting versions of what she was doing. One student remembers seeing her under a table, hands clasped in prayer; another says she remained seated. Josh, a sophomore who spoke with me a few weeks after the incident, did not see her at all, but he says he will never forget what he heard as he crouched under a desk about twenty-five feet away:​

I couldn't see anything when those guys came up to Cassie, but I could recognize her voice. I could hear everything like it was right next to me. One of them asked her if she believed in God. She paused, like she didn't know what she was going to answer, and then she said yes. She must have been scared, but her voice didn't sound shakey. It was strong. Then they asked her why, though they didn't give her a chance to respond. They just blew her away.​

Rachel Scott​

An excerpt from the book, "Rachel's Tears," written by Beth Nimmon.​

Without warning, the two young men opened fire, severing Richard's spine and shooting Rachel, twice in her legs, and once in her torso. As Richard lay stunned and Rachel attempted to crawl to safety, the shooters began to walk away, only to return seconds later. At that point, Harris reportedly grabbed Rachel by her hair, held her head up, and asked her the question: "Do you believe in God?" "You know I do," replied Rachel. "Then go be with Him," responded Harris before shooting her in the head.​


Excerpt From Rachel Joy Scott's Journal​

I like vintage clothes and vanilla candles, cool night air, and my dog’s snowy white fur. My room stays messy despite my best efforts to keep it clean. And no matter how hard I try to keep things picked up, clothes literally disappear into the black hole under my bed. ​

I like my brothers’ quirks, Craig’s “to do” lists, and my sister’s sense of humor. I like hanging out with my friends and making funny faces. I like driving anywhere, getting a new CD, making my mom laugh, and realizing the first line of a poem is running through my mind. ​

I don’t like designer clothes, cooked carrots, headaches, itty-bitty type in textbook footnotes, burnt marshmallows, and the “pretty but dumb” stigma for women. I can’t stand being late, music playing in doctors’ offices, or feeling behind in homework.​

And I know exactly what I want to be when I grow up—most days anyway. I want to be famous. I want people all over the world to know me. The only question is how I’m going to be famous. ​

Sometimes I wish I could live five different lives. In the first life I’d be an actress. Second, I’d be an incredibly talented writer. Third, I’d go for being a great American playwright. Fourth, I’d want to be the successor to Amy Grant, a Christian pop star—diva and songwriter all in one. But somewhere in there I also want to be an American missionary, living someplace exotic like Albert Schweitzer did. ​

I can’t see myself getting married. Can’t see myself ever “settling down.” Can’t see myself ever being pregnant and having babies. ​

I don’t know. It’s just a feeling I have, deep down inside me. I have a funny feeling (not funny like “ha ha,” but funny like weird), a kind of inner sense that my life is going to be different, unusual, or that I’m going to do something important. Sometimes I feel like that funny feeling comes from God. Other times, I don’t know. I just think I’m strange. But who knows? I guess the answer to that is—only God. ​

But back to wanting to be an actress, a writer, a songwriter, a missionary, and all the other stuff I daydream about . . . I guess if I want to do all of those things, that means I don’t really know what I want to do. But I know I want to live big. I want to laugh big. I want to love big. I want life to know I was here. Leave my mark. And somehow make a difference in the process. ​


I think about the future a lot. Daydream. Imagine. Hope. Wishful thinking. I think those are all different kinds of prayer, at least for me. Writing to God in my journal is praying. And when I’m daydreaming, writing poems, journaling, or just imagining what might be, I don’t think small, I don’t wish small, I don’t think “ordinary.” I like to think big, dream big, live big. ​

Now that I think about it, I don’t know exactly what I want to do when I grow up, but I know what I want to be. ​

I want to be one who speaks truthfully, no matter what the cost. I want to be one who acts with tolerance, compassion, and love as my top three guides for any decision I make.​

I want to be one who follows my heart and listens for God in the smallest of moments and biggest of choices. ​

I want to be one who is grace-full and gratitude-filled. I want to be one who sees in every day what I have and all I’ve been given rather than be blinded by what I don’t have. ​

I want to be one who trusts that God is enough—and God has made me enough. Good enough, smart enough, strong enough for whatever God calls me to be. ​

I want to open my arms wide and embrace life in all of its goodness and all of its badness because I believe the good outweighs the bad—for always and ever. ​

I want to remember to breathe deeply and sing loudly and love passionately and believe absolutely and see fully what’s really important. ​

And I think I’ll leave the particulars of how and when and where I’m going to be and do all of that to God—I think God is big enough to handle it all. ​

What are your dreams? If you could live five lives, what would they be and why? ​


​
When you’re faced with decisions about your future, when you think about your hopes and dreams, what does the phrase “choose life” mean to you? In what ways can you “choose life” in your life right now? What is “life giving” to you and what is “life taking”? What choices make you feel good about being you? What choices make you feel bad?​

rjs_teen_12.jpg

From the top going clockwise:​

I will not be labled as average.
I am a warrior for Christ.
You just may start a chain reaction.
I want you to use me to reach the unreached.​

Definitely a Christian band.

"You (Christ) save (s) me" "Perfect in just your (Christ's) strength alone" ~Flyleaf~
Wow...

Justice and Mercy-Flyleaf

A song for Christ

Flyleaf- "There For You"


Flyleaf - Breathe Today

Another brilliant song

So I Thought - Flyleaf s

If you're still doubting that this is a Christian band, here are the lyrics to that last song.

"So I Thought"

All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories
Show soul
Kiss the stars with me
And dread the wait for
Stupid calls returning us to life
We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because
so long I was
So in love with you
So I thought

A year goes by
And I can't talk about it

On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume
Myself in this
I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods
You learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies
About the times

A year goes by
And I can't talk about it

The times weren't right
And I couldn't talk about it

Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between

And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
So we can talk about it

[guitar solo]

Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between

And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream

And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between

FLYLEAF

oh no you di'int
:sad4: :sad4::sad4:All of this makes me so sad. The way they had to die.... They never even got to graduate high school. If I believed, I still don't think I would have been as brave as they were. What incredible examples to those who follow God. I hope they somehow were at peace in their last moments.

Yeah, exactly, wow... That's exactly what came to mind when I first heard one of her songs just over a few weeks ago, when I first posted this thread. My jaw was on the floor...

Two of my favorites

"Perfect in weakness, perfect in just your (Christ's) strength alone" ~Flyleaf~

Wow, powerful

my sister and i singing Cassie Flyleaf


Cassie - Flyleaf with lyrics



Flyleaf - Cassie (Acoustic)

Again, this is a song about Rachel Joy Scott and Cassie Bernall, who died for their faith, because they would not deny their faith in God, even when faced with a cruel horrifying death.

Modern day martyrs for their faith

Could you do the same, is for faith as strong as theirs ???

im so Sick - Flyleaf with Lyrics


Fully Alive- Flyleaf w/ Lyrics

Another song for Christ

Red Sam- Flyleaf Lyrics

Christ is the good Samaritan (Sam)/example of all good works, who shed his blood (Red) for us.

Christ (Red Sam)

This song is cleary written for and about Christ

Flyleaf - Red Sam

"Red Sam"

Here I stand
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings

There you stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you

But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it
The words are I love you
And I have to believe in you

But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

My hands are open
And you are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air

And I worship
And I worship
And I worship
And I worship

You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

Tina-Flyleaf (Video Mix)

"Tina"

Tina's eyes are clear chrysolite
How can we not notice her
Now they only stare at her burns
Her small voice so full of honesty

Take care of my loves
I can't hold on
Keep me alive while I die

They can't not notice her sickness
Like their own dung sprayed with perfume
They try not to hear her speaking
But they can't hear anything else

Take care of my loves
I can't hold on
Keep me alive while I die

I missed my chance
Send one more
I'm not wasting this
I missed my chance
Send one more chance
I'm not wasting this one more chance


Guilty-Flyleaf

~Guilty~

Lewis said there plainly seems to be
Moral standards in humanity
And this all makes perfect sense to me
Except we can't keep them can we

We are all guilty
Not being all we should be
Look at your own self and see

His voice cut through the war in my head
Screaming something I could understand
And somehow we knew me when He said

Is there anyone who's desperate
For anything more than this
I'm the anyone who's desperate
For anything more than this

We are all guilty
Not being all we should be
Look at your own self and see
We are all guilty
I am so guilty

Nobody move
I want that person to hear me
Yes, I'm talking to you
If you don't believe then
Lift up your arms
Open your hands
Receive
I'm free
I'm free


Eyes To See-Flyleaf


Believe In Dreams-Flyleaf

Cassie - Previously Unreleased (Acoustic Performance Clip)


Flyleaf ~ Sorrow

Flyleaf ~ Sorrow

Sometimes it seems too quiet into paralyzing silence,
Like the moon is dark, meant to make me strong,
Familiar breath of my old lies
Change the colour in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lives through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole (I FFH have felt this)
As you flew right through me (again I've felt this for one second, as she describes it in her song, it's the power of Christ she's speaking of, which also shot through me for one second and I "felt whole" as she also describes in her song here)

Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl, that's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lives through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity (The feeling that shot ("flew"as she describes it) through me and made me feel whole. gives me hope for what is to come in the eternities)
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me

And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie thats half-way mine
The sword is slicing through the question so I won't be fooled
By his angel light (Satan can appear as an angel of light)

Sorrow lives through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me

sorrow lives through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me and up into the stars
Sorrow lives

This song is about Christ

"...but who are you, you are the truth" ~ Flyleaf
