LIVE WELL

Live Well

Snippet

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best. St. Jerome

Scripture

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.

    Remind me that my days are numbered—

    how fleeting my life is.

You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.

    My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;

    at best, each of us is but a breath Ps 39:4,5 NLT

Song

"Live It Well By Switchfoot”

Yeah

(I wanna live it well)

Yeah, yeah

(I wanna live it well)

Yeah

Take the burden from my arms

Take the anchors off my lungs

Take me broken and make me one

Break the silence and make it a song

Life is short; I wanna live it well

One life, one story to tell

Life is short; I wanna live it well

And you're the one I'm living for

Awaken all my soul

Every breath that you take is a miracle

Life is short; I wanna live it well, yeah

I wanna sing with all my heart a lifelong song

Even if some notes come out right and some come out wrong

Cause I can't take none of that through the door

Yeah, I'm living for more than just a funeral

I wanna burn brighter than the dawn

Life is short; I wanna live it well

One life, one story to tell

Life is short; I wanna live it well

And you're the one I'm living for

Awaken all my soul

Every breath that you take is a miracle

Life is short; I wanna live it well, yeah

I got one life and one love

I got one voice, but maybe that's enough

Cause with one heartbeat and two hands to give

I got one shot and one life to live

One life to live, yeah

And every breath you take is a miracle

Life is short; I wanna live it well

One life, one story to tell (one love)

Life is short; I wanna live it well

And you're the one I'm living for (the one, yeah)

Awaken all my soul

Every breath that you take is a miracle

Life is short; I wanna live it well

And you're the one I'm living for

(One life) One life, one love

(One love) One life, one love

(One voice) One voice, yeah

(And that's enough) And that's enough, oh

(One heartbeat, two hands to give)

I got one shot and one life to live, one life to live

Sentence Prayer

O God of the poor and meek, form us into people who do not conform to the patterns of this world but rather conform to the norms of your upside-down kingdom.  Give us eyes to see you in those who suffer.  Move us to the margins of this world, and help us to find You there, in Your most disinteresting disguises.  Amen
