I could travel over oceans, cross the deserts, climb the mountains
Just to share Your story, bring You glory, and win souls for You.
AND I could sing like an angel, songs so humble and so thankful
Full of drama and emotion, so the world would know Your truth.
I could give away my money and my clothes and my food
To restore those people who are poor, AND lost, and down-and-out.
Oh, I could succeed at all these things,
Find favor with peasants and kings,
But if I do not love, I am nothing.
I could live a flawless life,
Never cheat or steal or lie,
And always speak so kindly, smile SO warmly, and go about doing good.
I could dedicate myself to do what everyone else wants me to-
Listen to them, compliment them, say the things I should.
I could show up every Sunday, lead the Choir and Bible Study
And they all might come to know me as a leader and a friend.
Oh, I could achieve success on Earth, but success cannot define my worth
And all these actions, all these words, THEY will not matter in the end-
Chorus:
CAUSE Songs will fade to silence,
Stories, they will cease.
The dust will settle, covering all my selfless deeds.
So as I strive to serve You,
Won't You make it clear to me,
THAT If I do not love, I am nothing.
Bridge:
AND If I cannot live my life loving my brother,
Then how can I love the One who lived His life for me?
OH, Sent to Earth from Heaven,
Humble Servant, Holy King,
Come to share a story, get no glory, and save my searching soul,
You knew that I'd deny You, crucify You, but nothing could stop You from
living for me, dying for me, so that I would know-
Chorus:
THAT Songs will fade to silence,
Stories they will cease,
The dust will settle covering ALL MY selfless deeds.
But Your life here has made it clear enough for me to see
That if I do not love, I am nothing
yesterday was fun fun fun...I stayed in bed until about 10:30, reading All's Fair in Love, War, and High School, which is an awesome book that I totally recommend. It's made me think about how much I insult people without even thinking about it - way too much. Anyway, I got up and dressed and then Mum and I went shopping. I convinced her to get me a sweatshirt at Kohl's that I really like, because it was on clearance for 7 bucks plus I had 2 dollars on my
gift card that I could put towards it. yay! And then Famous Barr and Bergner's, where I found my
prom dress for next year...yes, I tried on
prom dresses. By myself. I was BORED! and then we came home and I threw my stuff together and went over to Rachel's. And we made (*cough* BUILT) a cake and ate lots of conversation hearts and then got ready to go to dinner...we wore jeans under our dresses! it was fun. heehee...I still want to cut the sleeves off of that dress. Maybe I'll get Grandma to help me. hmmm. Anyway, so we went and picked up Cole and then Robby, and went to DQ...and Rachael met us there. And then I took Rachael to her lock-in, and then Robby to his, and we hug out in that parking lot for a while. And then we went back to Rach's with Cole and she and I changed and then we messed around for a bit and then we went to the Etc, except that as soon as we got there Devin called and we went to pick him up (which was iiiinteresting...) and then we went BACK to the Etc, which turned out to be closed, so we went to OSCO! and then back to Rach's and watched Napoleon Dynamite and I barely got home in time. sigh...it was so much fun. and this was long. I go now.
