I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance..
I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance.. I hope you dance.
I hope you dance.. I hope you dance.
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
Where those years have gone.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance.. I hope you dance.
I hope you dance.. I hope you dance.
I hope you dance.. I hope you dance..
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
and wonder
where those years have gone.
its a beautiful song and exceptionally apt at this point of time. i still remember when germ suddenly passed me this song in the middle of class and i fell in love with every part of it cos it was just sososo beautiful. and its just littlelittle things like these that remind me He hasnt given up on me. i will give faith a fighting chance, i dont ever want to lose that sense of wonder, and i wont let some hell bent heart leave me bitter.
pastor talked about forgiveness during todays msg and i know this is one message i wont ever ever forget. recent happenings and all scrambling my brains and messing up my mind and i realised the biggest part of it was that i was unable, unwilling to forgive. pastor talked about how we always take His forgiveness for granted, i go to Him and say "Lord forgive me" and more often than not, dont mean it with all my heart. Jesus said before He died "Father, forgive them.." -luke23:34 then pastor asked us to think of one person that we were unable to forgive cos of the hurt they've inflicted on us. and the ache in my heart was caused by my unwillingness to forgive. the time, the effort and the prayer it took me to forgive one person is as much as it took Him to forgive me. so much talk about the passion of Christ and the extent to which He suffered.. i think if i do go watch it i'll be traumatised for life. i mean seriously. and anyway forgiving that person put this huuuuge load off my heart, maybe that person doesnt need my forgiveness, but i need to give it anyway (: learning this lesson of what it means to forgive another the way He forgave me this easter- my sin has been nailed to the cross of my Savior.
giving me greater reason to sing this easter with a renewed sense of JOY and gladness cos He loves me and He died for me. HE AROSE! and i will follow Him (: He was born and THERE WAS LIGHT sing hosanna, praise Him praise Him. i will try not to be scared when i hold the mike my heart will not want to fly out of my chest when i hear those few notes i will look into the light and all the people in the sanctuary will disappear, and i will stand in His presence and sing for no one but Him (: and i WILL NOT BE SCARED ANYMORE
i'm just passing through,
my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue;
the angels beckon me from heaven's open door
and i cant feel at home in this world anymore.
the shadows deepen, and my heart bleeds. i will not question the way He leads. this side of heaven, we know in part, i will not question a broken heart. i'll hide my heartache behind a smile, and wait for reasons till after awhile. and though He try me, i know i'll find-
that all my burdens are silver-lined.
