I was driving to work yesterday morning and this song came on The Message, the station I listen to on satellite radio… it’s one I’d never heard before from Steven Curtis Chapman. It’s off his 2001 album entitled “Declaration“. The lyrics really struck a chord with me, so I thought I’d share them.
“Jesus is Life”
Steven Curtis Chapman
“Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages
Anyone listening, I’ve got an announcement to make
There’s been some confusion about a certain someone
A lot of discussion and a lot of debate
So if I may take just a moment to say who Jesus is to me
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
The air I’m breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I’m needing
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Imagine the deepest sea without a drop of water
An infinite galaxy without even one single star
That’s how I would be… so absolutely empty
Without Jesus’ life in me there’d be no life at all
More than just a part, He’s the very heart of everything I am
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
The air I’m breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I’m needing
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
This is my position concerning my condition
This is my position concerning my condition
This is my position, my life, my definition
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
The air I’m breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I’m needing
Jesus is life
Jesus is life.”
Here’s a YouTube video of the song.
I think this song should be a challenge to us to not back down and proclaim the love of Christ to this world. In my mind, I just can’t comprehend how some people think there is no god. Look around you… how did the trees form? Flowers? Wildlife? You and me?
“Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God”.”
Psalm 14:1
Until next time…
