What Life Would Be Like

Before you read any further, let me just preface this entry with a note that I am not a bible-thumper by any stretch of the imagination. Not that there is something wrong with that, but it is just not me.

But as of late, it seems that when I am at my lowest point, I turn the radio on and this is the song that has been playing. How I found a christian music station is beyond me. Anyhow, it touches me deeply. Especially the part that states "I wish I was more of a man (a woman, in my case) and I feel like less than what I was meant to be. " It all rings so true to me. Have you ever felt that way. If so, what have you done about it?

Here's the lyrics for the whole song, What Life Would Be Like, by Big Daddy Weave. I wish I could find a better version of the song, but for now, this is as good as it gets.

I wish I was more of a man
Have you ever felt that way
And if I had to tell you the truth
I'm afraid I'd have to say
That after all I've done and failed to do
I feel like less than I was meant to be

What if I could fix myself
Maybe then I could get free
I could try to be somebody else
Who's much better off than me
But I need to remember this
That it's when I'm at my weakest
I can clearly see

He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me

What if you could see yourself thru another pair of eyes
What if you could hear the truth
Instead of old familiar lies
What if you could feel inside
The power of the hand that made the universe
You'd realize

That He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
Yeah, yeah

All our hearts they burn within us
All our lives we've longed for more
So let us lay our lives before the one who gave His life for us

He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
Yeah, yeah
Let Him live through you and me
Yeah, yeah
