POINT OF GRACE - How You Live
Monday, July 23rd, 2007
We’re taking a look at the new Point of Grace CD song by song. Today we’re looking at the song ‘How You Live (Turn Up The Music)’.
Point of Grace - How You Live (Turn Up The Music)
Wake up to the sunlight of your windows open
Don’t hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress, use your good dishes
Make a big mess, and make lots of wishesHave what you want,
but want what you have
Don’t spend your life looking backTurn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all outCause you won’t regret it looking back from where you have been
Cause it’s not who you knew,
and it’s not what you did
It’s how you lived.
Here’s Heather to tell us more about the theme of this song:
“You never hear someone say, ‘I wish I hadn’t had all those kids,’ or ‘I wish I’d worked more in the office.’ Life isn’t about the office; it’s about family and God.
“I’m about to have my fourth child, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My husband and I all the time are talking about how we wish we could bottle this time up. You should sit down with your kids and spend time with them, and tell your spouse you love them. The chorus of ‘How You Live’ says it all — it’s not who you knew, or what you did, it’s how you lived.” - Heather Payne
Don’t let past sin and regret keep you from really living. Don’t take life for granted - make the most of each day. Now is the time when decisions are made and life is lived - not yesterday or not tomorrow.
From God’s Word…
1 Eph 5:15-16
Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
