I LOVE music! I love all music, except rap, sorry.
It gets to my soul. If anything can get to my heart faster, it's a song.
Today I was home alone and when that happens my music gets cranked up and I sing and dance knowing that I can be free to let the words speak to my heart and encourage me.
The one that really got to me today was " If Today Was Your Last Day" by Nickelback.
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life.
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
That got to me on so many levels. You can hear a song over and over but sometimes it's just new. Today was one of those days.
Today the line "What's worth the price is always worth the fight" hit me like a brick. My thoughts went immediately to what Jesus did for me. He fought for me and you. Died the worst death possible. He must think we're worth it. That's humbling. The best part is knowing he has won the fight!
I hope you can feel and hear beauty in music each day.
Thank you for visiting!!
