More to this life.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

About six months ago, a wise friend warned me not to stop living my life, not to let my life stop while waiting for something else. And at that time I took that advice. But lately, it hasn't been a great secret that I have been feeling somewhat displaced where I currently am. It's scary to say the least, but just unsettling more than anything.

But this song. This song is so beautiful. I only came across it this week, and I can't get it out of my head.

Life must go on.

I can't sit around just waiting impatiently for my something awesome. To feel complete. To feel like life is starting. Because life for me started almost 20 years ago. There is more to this life we have than just living day to day. That's not a life. And, what I'm learning more and more each day, there's so much more to life than what I can see. By myself, I am nothing. But He sees so much more, an entire eternity.

He is the only thing that can make my life complete.
