I LOVE this song! Written by Matthew West and Sam Mitzell it really has "Something to Say". Will you listen?
I posted a music video a student made with this song earlier today, so if you want to hear it, just scroll down to my last "post" and you will find it there. But here are the lyrics:
Something To Say lyrics
Wake up, 7:32 a.m.
Can't believe it's time to do it over again
Yesterday it took all that you had
And you're wondering if you'll ever get it back
But the whole wide world is waiting for
Waiting for you to step out that door
Come on and let your life be heard today
you got something to say
If you're living, if you're breathing
you got something to say
you know if your heart is beating
you got something to say
and no one can say it like you do
God is love and love speaks through
you got it, you got it
you got something to say
Listen up
I got a question here
would anybody miss you if you disappeared?
your life is the song that you sing
and the whole wide world is listening
well, the answer to your question is
you were created, your life is a gift
and the lights are shining on you today
I love that! It is right on! So many times I hear people say, "I could never write like you do", "I don't know how you do that", etc.
I agree, you aren't supposed to write like me. You are supposed to be you. God picked YOU. For this time, for this season, for this place, for the people you are surrounded by. Listen to Him and then respond. Respond to Him and then obey.
Follow His lead, kindness, truth, justice, love, peace, hope, it's all there in His Word, we are important to those He puts in our path. If you think you aren't, I am quite comfortable telling you that you are wrong. You matter. He wouldn't have made you if you didn't.
SO - in keeping with this "something to say" post, I am going to ask you to COMMENT on this post with something YOU have on your heart to say. You may post anonymously, that is fine, but post something. Listen for a minute, then type.
What do YOU have to say? What do YOU want someone to know? What matters to YOU?
I honestly look forward to what YOU have to say!
I used to think that the safest thing to do was keep my mouth shut. That way I wouldn't hurt feelings or put my foot in my mouth. There is no guarantee, I found out, that being silent won't hurt feelings. I've been learning that with wisdom and listening ears, what I have to say can be a benefit...especially, if God asks me to say it. Better to speak my truth than to leave others to their own imagination about what I'm thinking.
