01. This Life

The Generous Mr. Lovewell
by MercyMe



 

This is not my home
This is not space
Simply not my style
This is not my place
Can’t get comfortable
Can’t get settled in
I simply don’t belong
Can’t get used to this
But I’m here right now
I can hear You say
“Make the most of me”
This won’t go to waste
If I’m out of my mind yeah
It’s all for the Christ
If I’m making sense
Then get in line

Every moment is a chance to
Let your light break through

This life, this life was meant to shine
This life, this life was meant to shine

I don’t have to stall
I don’t have to wait
Don’t have to bide my time
Till I make my escape
‘Cause heaven’s in my heart
I won’t settle for less
I will lift Your name
By the life I live

Every moment is a chance to
Let your light break through

This life, this life was meant to shine
This life, this life was meant to shine
It’s in my heart
It’s in my soul
I’ll live every day just to make you known
This life, this life was meant to shine

Hold your heads up high
This is our moment to rise
We were meant to shine
Not just survive

Behind the Song:
"As for the opening track of this album, we thought it be a nice reminder that, while we don't belong here, we ARE here. In other words, God did not intend for us to sit around and wait for heaven, he desires us to live life to the fullest for His glory. This life was meant to shine!" - MercyMe
