What's my life if I'm not praising you...

I think these lyrics speak for themselves... very powerful. 


Lecrae - Boasting


 If this life has anything to gain at all 
I count it lost if I can't hear you, feel you, 
'cause I need you. Can't walk this earth alone. 
I recognize I'm not my own, so before I fall 
I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone. 

With every breath I take, with every heart beat, 
Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street. 
Every glance, every dance, every note of a song. 
It's all a gift undeserved that I shouldn't have known. 
Every day that I lie, every moment I covet 
I'm deserving to die, I'm just earning your judgment. 
I, without the cross there's only condemnation. 
If Jesus wasn't executed there's no celebration. 
So in times that are good, in times that are bad, 
For any times that I've had it all I will be glad. 
And I will boast in the cross. I boast in my pains. 
I will boast in the sunshine, boast in his reign. 
What's my life if it's not praising you. 
Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit. 
I do not count my life as any value or precious at all. 
Let me finish my race, let me answer my call. 

If this life has anything to gain at all 
I count it lost if I can't hear you, feel you, 
'cause I need you. Can't walk this earth alone. 
I recognize I'm not my own, so before I fall 
I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone. 

Tomorrow's never promised, but it is we swear. 
Think we holding our own, just a fist full of air. 
God has never been obligated to give us life. 
If we fought for our rights, we'd be in hell tonight. 
Mere sinners own nothing but a fierce hand. 
We never loved him, we pushed away his pierced hands. 
I rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy. 
Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty. 
Eternally worthy, how could I live for less? 
Patiently you turn my heart away from selfishness. 
I volunteer for your sanctifying surgery. 
I know the spirit's purging me of everything that's hurting me. 
Remove the veil from my darkened eyes. 
So now every morning I open your word and see the Son rise. 
I hope in nothin, boast in nothin, only in your suffering. 
I live to show your glory, dying to tell your story. 

If this life has anything to gain at all 
I count it lost if I can't hear you, feel you, 
'cause I need you. Can't walk this earth alone. 
I recognize I am not my own, so before I fall 
I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone. 
 
Glory was solely meant for you, doing what no one else could do. 
With All I have to give, (With all I have to Give) I'll use my life, I'll use my lips.  
I'll only glory in your Word. What gift to me I don't deserve. 
I'll live in such a way that it reflects to you my praise. 
 
If this life has anything to gain at all 
I count it lost if I can't hear you, feel you, 
'cause I need you. Can't walk this earth alone. 
I recognize I am not my own, so before I fall 
I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone.

The Words I Would Say...

Ok, so I don't listen to KSBJ that much, but recently I tuned in, and heard this song... I heard it a while back but never really listened to the lyrics. Of course, the first thing I thought while listening is that this is a perfect song for my sweet orphans in Russia... and I just broke down. The lyrics speak truth perfectly, and I only wish they could hear it right this moment.

Please take a look at the lyrics, and then when the Lord puts someone on your heart that needs to hear these words, don't be afraid to speak these truths into their life!

The Words I Would Say - Sidewalk Prophets

Three in the morning,

And I'm still awake,

So I picked up a pen and a page,

And I started writing,

Just what I'd say,

If we were face to face,

I'd tell you just what you mean to me,

I'd tell you these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,

Never give up hope,

You're going to do great things,

I already know,

God's got His hand on you so,

Don't live life in fear,

Forgive and forget,

But don't forget why you're here,

Take your time and pray,

These are the words I would say,

Last time we spoke,

You said you were hurting,

And I felt your pain in my heart,

I want to tell you,

That I keep on praying,

Love will find you where you are,

I know cause I've already been there,

So please hear these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,

Never give up hope,

You're going to do great things,

I already know,

God's got His hand on you so,

Don't live life in fear,

Forgive and forget,

But don't forget why you're here,

Take your time and pray,

These are the words I would say,

From one simple life to another,

I will say,

Come find peace in the Father,

Be strong in the Lord and,

Never give up hope,

You're going to do great things,

I already know,

God's got His hand on you so,

Don't live life in fear,

Forgive and forget,

But don't forget why you're here,

Take your time and pray,

Thank God for each day,

His love will find a way,

These are the words I would say
