Day 183- Someone Worth Dying For

Wow, I haven't posted a song since October. It's about time I posted another one. Visit that entry for an explanation on the "days" attached to these songs if you've forgotten. I don't feel like explaining again. ;-)

This song really spoke to me on our return trip from our Ohio vacation last summer. I had heard this song many times before that, but for whatever reason (I know- it was God- not just a "whatever reason"), that time it smacked me in the face. We had already crossed into the Huntington county borders, were soooo close to home, anxiously anticipating being reunited with our pastor's family, Nana and Boppa, and Carly and Mal's family, when this song came on the radio. And just like that, it had me in tears as the words sunk in. Pass the kleenex please!

Someone Worth Dying For by Mikeschair

You might be the wife, waiting up at night
You might be the man, struggling to provide
Feeling like it's hopeless
Maybe you're the son who chose a broken road
Maybe you're the girl thinking you'll end up alone
Praying God can you hear me?
Oh God are you listening?

Am I more than flesh and bone? Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
And I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for

I know you've heard the truth that God has set you free
But you think you're the one that grace could never reach
So you just keep asking, oh what everybody's asking

Am I more than flesh and bone? Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for
You're worth it, you can't earn it
Yeah the cross has proven that you're sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose

And you are more than flesh and bone,
Can't you see you're something beautiful
Yes you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see
That you're not just some wandering soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you are
Someone worth dying for, oho
You're someone worth dying for, oho
You're someone worth dying for.
