More To This Life...Music

We have Christmas barreling straight at us and I wanted to take a moment to reflect about this holiday that brings so much Joy and Hope to Christians around the world, and plenty of goodies for those who celebrate others without the link to Christianity it self.

This part of the year can be trying for so many. We live in a time when there are those who seem to have it all... and then there are those who are struggling to make ends meet. I want to encourage each one reading this to take a moment and listen to this song that Steven Curtis Chapman penned back in the 80's. ( I also included the lyrics so that you can follow along) I want you to know that there is hope beyond the hand of man. A hope that reaches into our very souls if we will let it.



Today I watched in silence as people passed me by,
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes;
But they all looked at me as if to say
Life just goes on.

The old familiar story told in different ways,
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave;
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today
Life must go on.

CHORUS
But there’s more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day;
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,
And there’s more than this life alone can be.

Tonight he lies in silence staring into space,
And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today,
But in the morning light it looks the same;
Life just goes on.

He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work,
And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church;
And somehow he still feels a need to search,
But life just goes on.

(chorus)

So where do we start to find every part
Of what makes this life complete;
If we turn our eyes to Jesus we’ll find
Life’s true beginning is there at the cross where He died.
He died to bring us . . . ( and because of it there is more to this life)
