For This Life - Eternia

Before I was formed

When I was born

When I was 10-years-old

When I moved out

When I rejected the law

When I had doubts

When I could see that I failed

When I dropped out

When I was in denial

When I called ‘em «minor details.»

When I would shout

When I just couldn’t be saved

When I would cuss you out for failing in fulfilling my way

When I would pray

When I would return

Would I make amends?

Would You forgive me?

Would I have to pay a price for my sins?

Or did You get me?

Did You witness all the things that I did?

And if You did would you despise me

Undermining all the stories you said?

Or would You find me, pick me out of everybody as kin

And remind me of that’s why You sent Him

When I seek grace from within

Would You embrace me, lift me out of disgrace?

Would You amaze me with the love that I could sense in Your face?

Would You abide in me and live in this place?

And walk beside me like a Father would His daughter with unfaltering grace?

For this life I’m forever thankful

(lemme tell you why)

I may have nothin' to show

But at least I got it all

At least I got it all!

And I aspire to live higher, desire more than I ever did

Evidently I’ve been living focused on irrelevants

Irreverent:

My actions, words, thoughts and my sentiments

Had to take a step back — reflect a little bit

Reset intentions and

Deflect the negative

We let this world subdue us like a sedative

Pill popping to Armageddon

Lost all perspective

Act reckless

Thirty and fourty-year-old adolescents?!

LORD — take me to the bottom

That’s a blessing in disguise

Take me to the end of whatever I hide behind:

My occupation, my pride

My skills, and my lies

My arrogance, my greediness

The lust of my eyes

I’m a self-proclaimed self-involved self-centred arrogant chick

I got an answer that’ll shut your mouth quick

I got a cancer in my heart you can’t fix

I got resentments, I’m defensive, disconnected…

Let His grace flow in

For this life I’m forever grateful

I may mean nothing to you, and you, and you, and you, and you…

But in Him I got it all

But in Him I got it all

Just be thankful for what you got

I know to you, to you, to you, to you it might seem like nothing…

But in Him it’s a whole lot

(at least I got it all!)

Bridge (2 Corinthians 6:8−10)

Through glory and dishonor

Bad report and good report

Genuine, yet regarded as imposters

Known, yet regarded as unknown

Dying and yet we live on

Beaten, and yet not killed

Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing

Poor, yet making many rich

Having nothing, and yet possessing…

Everything

OUTRO

Oooohhh… for this life…

Oooooohhh… For this Life!
