one

i’ve got no direction
i can’t find rewind
i guess its time to fly
just go with the flow
to where i don’t know
i just want to grow…

looking for pause
but stuck in fast forward
wishing for normal
but meant to live abnormal

you got your act together
i can’t seem to find my scene
the stage is set
the lines unknown
the curtains drawn
looks like it’s time to just go

i’ve only got one shot at this thing called life
i get one chance
no intermissions, no time outs, and not a single re-do
i get one shot at living life
i want to live it for the One called Christ
to live it otherwise would just be a mistake
one huge waste of this gift known as life

play was pushed, action was called
no rehearsal and no reversal
one chance, one shot, one live performance

one goal, one task, one desire
live for the One called Christ
and try not to throw away this gift called life.

live love.
with reckless abandon.
hold nothing back.
“preach the gospel at all times. if necessary use words”

    i like that, you’ve got to give it you all, keep nothing for yourself; live for Christ. although there are ‘no rehearsal and no reversal’ mistakes happen, God forgives. at the end of every day ask ask was today wasted? and then live that tomorrow will not be…

    not sure if that makes sense… just thought that ran through my mind as i read…
