Living Alive

                                        

                                               Living Alive

Giving into the morning

           Well should I rise to shine

Living life I’m living for a lifetime

            I’m catching moments   ooo  as time flies

I’m living moments, but moments die

 

I’m singing it like a song of mine

           Noting notes as they sail away

Lord keep me ….. in the Sonshine

           Lord keep me, Lord keep me I pray

Lord keep me, It’s such a beautiful day

Chorus:

And life’s just fine, I’m living it rain or shine

When rivers come flooding and deserts bleed me dry

I thirst for the Father til the rain makes me cry

I’ll thirst for the Father til the well runs dry

I’m alive and living, I’m living alive

A gift from my Father, a gift you can’t buy

I’m alive and living, I’m living alive

Where living is dying and dying makes alive

Bridge:

A day may find you wanting from a diet of endless lies

A windless sail availing to a journeys lifeless craving

A breathe of breathless sighs a dawn of consuming whys

Still the word whispers daily of a life that’s alive

Verse:

Dare I tiptoe thru this mirror

          A pass to the other side

Reflect on this reflection

          That I share to the other side

Unexpectedly, acceptable this pie in the sky

          I’m slip sliding into the Sonshine

Chorus:     

Verse: 

Eluding this deluding bliss of lies

          Unexpectedly expecting to be living alive

I’m alive and living I’m living alive

 

This is my latest song written last March. Obviously written to display an alternative approach to living from that of self-realization. Scripture teaches a dying to self and pursuing a Christ realization. We lose to gain. "Where living is dying and dying makes alive." This means taking your eyes off of your "self" and placing God's will for your life into his hands. A self absorbed personality is a poor adornment to be wearing and never seems to be endearing, especially to all of our self absorbing friends. I, and you, I'm guessing have a deep desire for peace. I've found it in Christ. I've found it in crucifying my self desires and seeking His. We love to say; no pain, no gain. It's more difficult to say; no pain, no love.  Jesus says a seed has to die to be reborn. To be a new creation you have to be born again.

      "Dare I tiptoe thru this mirror; a pass to the other side."

     "Reflect on this reflection; that I share to the other side"

There is a self to be concerned about; a self-examination.

2nd Corinthians 13:6 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
