Live Like That. The Cry of My Heart.

Hello all.  I hope everyone is well.  

I heard this song on the way to a funeral this morning.  At the funeral, the testimony of this man's life was just like this song.  People did say all the most wonderful things about him.  He did "Live Like That". 

That man is my Great-Uncle Edward Newton and I will be blogging about him soon because I want to show him honor for his faithful, God-fearing life just as I did my Mom.  I hope you will honor him by reading it just as you did for my Mom. Thank you to everyone who has read the post about her.

This song represents my heart as well.  I want to be a mighty man of God, known for his love and generosity .  I want to be known as someone who so appreciated the work of God's grace in his own heart that he had to let it overflow to others.  

I confess I am not even close yet.  There is still so much of me to crucify.  But this song is my hearts cry and I am grateful that it was written by Sidewalk Prophets.  May it remain the undying hunger and cry of my heart and may it become the undying cry of your heart, if it is not already. 

I think of Matthew 5:14-16 which says, "You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand; and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

Please enjoy the video and see the lyrics below.  Blessings.

Sometimes I think 
What will people say of me 
When I'm only just a memory 
When I'm home where my soul belongs 

Was I love 
When no one else would show up 
Was I Jesus to the least of those 
Was my worship more than just a song 

I want to live like that 
And give it all I have 
So that everything I say and do 
Points to You 

If love is who I am 
Then this is where I'll stand 
Recklessly abandoned 
Never holding back 

I want to live like that 
I want to live like that 

Am I proof 
That You are who you say You are 
That grace can really change a heart 
Do I live like Your love is true 

People pass 
And even if they don't know my name 
Is there evidence that I've been changed 
When they see me, do they see You 

I want to live like that 
And give it all I have 
So that everything I say and do 
Points to You 

If love is who I am 
Then this is where I'll stand 
Recklessly abandoned 
Never holding back 

I want to live like that 
I want to live like that 

I want to show the world the love You gave for me 
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King 

I want to live like that 
And give it all I have 
So that everything I say and do 
Points to You
