Live Like That

"Live Like That" by Sidewalk Prophets

"Sometimes I think
What will people [Christ] say of me [I try not to get caught up in what people think of me.  I know they will think what they will as they did of Christ.  Yet I do want my life to be a Cause to lead my Children to develop a closer relationship with their Savior.]
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs
[...where my soul belongs]

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of us
Was my worship more than just a song
[Seriously.  I need to be real.  I want to be real.]

Chorus
I want to live like that ["like that" to me means like Jesus Christ lived.  I picture him and his life and his sacrifice.  How could I ignore his story?  It reaches out and affects me even across the gulf of time between his lifetime and mine.]
And give it all I have [I know this is all that's expected.  No more.  No less.]
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
[The only way it can point to him is if I receive him First as my Savior, my God, my guide, my coach, my Cause.]

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand [Mosiah 5:15] [Sometimes I focus too much on what I can change in order to be better.  Understanding that there are things I need to make a stand in has helped me gain greater peace and strength in my life.]
Recklessly abandoned [Mark 8:35]
Never holding back
[Never holding back!]

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are [He's so beautiful!]
That grace can really change our heart
Do I live like Your love is true
[This echos my words and my Desire.]

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You
[We can get confused and think our value comes from whether people really do see Christ in us.  But whether THEY do or do not does not define who we are.  Yet it is important for their sakes that they feel the love of our Savior through us.  Through our interactions with them, they sense that we're truly thinking of them and their needs before our own.  This is no show.  That is what Christ has done for us and so that is what we do for them.]

Repeat Chorus

I want to show the world [my Children, family, friends, all those who I interact with] the love You gave for me [When we talk about "showing the world" it's easy to picture ourselves on stage.  But that frame of mind has never returned Sustainable Results.  It's more important for me to think about one person at a time.  The empathy and admiration in my heart is more easily accessed for them when I think of their story, what they have been through, what they need one by one.  3 Nephi 17:21]
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King
[Those who don't know him would find Sustainable Joy if they did.]

I want to live like that
I want to live like that
I want to live like that"

I love this group! "Sidewalk Prophets"
I love their testimony of Jesus Christ.  Just listen to their voices!  I can feel how much they love him through this song.  And I love to join my voice, my heart, with theirs in worship of this Amazing Being.
