Dispising the Shame

Another thing you'd probably expect to find on my blog.
I've lived on a shelf just for myself & I've made merry
And I have tried to seize the coolest breeze that could me carry.
Compromise had shut my eyes when I thought I was bluffing,
Fool, instead of folding I was left there holding nothing.
Those that jeered & sneered is what I feared & most respected,
But now I've chosen God, & their applaud I've have rejected.

Chorus
Now I'm despising the shame,
That I receive in His name.
And aye, they call me profane,
I'm called by his name.
We're the same.

Verse 2
I will take this cross unto the lost & I will wear it,
The fire & the frost, I count the cost & I will bear it.
And I will bear the scorn that He has borne so undeserving,
As they call me the bastard of the Master that I'm serving.

Bridge
He is no fool who gives what he connot keep,
To gain what he cannot lose.
I dare to bear the wrath with they,
Who live to laugh another day.

What does the music video mean exactly?
I get the lyrics, but the music video doesn't make much sense.
Twins are hot as usual... :)

I guess on some level it's a personal song about the predicament posed to anyone who's decided to stand up for God--including Jesus Himself who "endured the cross, despising the shame".(Heb.12)

In my experience a lot of that "shame" comes from those who initially seemed charmed by what they saw in us. At first they often want in, perhaps intrigued by it, like looking at a tree & appreciating it's fruit & the shade it provides but then objecting to the sap which gives it life. The they want to change it & control it, replace the sap. They do this by trying to shame or undermine it, encouraging you that YOU are the sap. "Come down off the wall & talk about how we can help you do better on your own" sort of thing. When that fails they'll turn against you & try to destroy you.

My role was, in a rather slap-stick way, presenting this character.

Er, sorry, Pooch, wasn't aware this was your blog.
Why should I leave my name? I haven't said anything wrong, I'm not one of those famed anon's who insult people on their blogs behind a blank face. I choose to not put my name as anonymous for personal reasons.
Hi, my name is Anonymous and I would like to see the Room :)
