The fourth song my sons and I have chosen to teach the children at the Children's Spring Retreat is "What Life Would Be Like" by Big Daddy Weave. We will be omitting the first two verses. Here are the lyrics:
He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
What if you could see yourself thru another pair of eyes
What if you could hear the truth
Instead of old familiar lies
What if you could feel inside
The power of the hand that made the universe You'd realize
He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
All our hearts they burn within us
All our lives we've longed for more
So let us lay our lives before the One who gave His life for us
He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
Let Him live through you and me
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
What if you could see yourself thru another pair of eyes
What if you could hear the truth
Instead of old familiar lies
What if you could feel inside
The power of the hand that made the universe You'd realize
He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
All our hearts they burn within us
All our lives we've longed for more
So let us lay our lives before the One who gave His life for us
He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live thru you and me
Let Him live through you and me
I love the words to this song! It starts by acknowledging the miraculous power of our God, and how He longs to meet everyone's needs. God knows! He understands! He aches! And He desires to live through each one of us to touch the hurting hearts in the world around us.
My favourite line of this song is: "And the world waits while His heart aches."
The world is waiting, and as it waits, God's heart aches with unfathomable love for the all the people in it. As the world waits, God waits for His children to reach out to those who don't know Him and are in need of a loving Saviour and a Heavenly Father.
