Live Like That

I heard this song on the radio the other day and the lyrics captured me.  I happened to have just pulled into a parking space, so I quickly "shazam-ed" it on my iPhone and found out it's called Live Like That by the Sidewalk Prophets.

I have been obsessed with it and meditating and praying over the lyrics of it ever since.  I really do want to "live like that" and be an example of doing so to my children, in hopes that they will do the same.  I hope sharing this can be a blessing and an encouragement to any and all who enjoy my blog. The lyrics and song are here:


Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home 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

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
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
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true

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

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

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


I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

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