I Want to Live Like That

I was reading in my bible this morning in Ecclesiastes 4. Solomon spent that chapter comparing laziness vs. workaholism vs. moderation, companionship vs. isolation, seeking the approval of others vs. seeking the approval of God alone. As I read the words on the page, I was flooded with a song by Sidewalk Prophets, titled “I Want to Live Like That.” It’s such a powerful song about how Christ calls us to live. Being a believer in Christ is so much more than just believing. Even Satan believes in God. The question is, “what are you doing with that belief?” As believers we are called to live a life that is set apart from this world. Living truly for Christ, following him, and being a light that leads others to him. I certainly want to live like that…

 

Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of those
Was my worship more than just a song

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back
I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back
I want to live like that
I want to live like that

I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back
I want to live like that
I want to live like that

 

I love those bolded words .. “Is there evidence that I’ve been changed. When they see me, do they see you?” How powerful. Praying that every person who reads these words is either encouraged in their faith or completely changed to truly Live Like That.
