"Live This Life" by Big & Rich

The song I chose for this week is "Live This Life" by Big & Rich. Big & Rich are country music artists and have three albums: Horse of A Different Color, Comin' To Your City, and Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace. Their first album came out in 2004. "Live This Life" is off of their first album, Horse of A Different Color. I love this song for it's lyrics because the lyrics relate to life; it definately has a strong meaning. My favorite line in the song is "I watched him heal a bling man, now I see." That says to me that someone could walk through life so blind and live the wrong way. Then they could find Jesus or God and finally see what life is all about. "I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore" is really true because when I go(pass away), I know it's because it's God's time for me. It also tells me that life is short and when life won't let me live here anymore that I can't go back and change anything. My other favorite part of the song is "And he said, “I’m tired of this maddening life and I’m ready to go meet Jesus.”I said, “He’s a friend of mine, met him just last night and it’s alright, yeah.”" That says to me that no one's alone in life. Sometimes people need someone to tell them that and sometimes people need someone to introduce them to God.

Met a man on the street last night, said his name was Jesus

Met a man on the street last night

Thought he was crazy til I watched him heal a blind man

I watched him heal a blind man, now I see, yeah

I live this life until this life won’t let me live here anymore

Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door

I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go

I live this life til this life won’t let me live here anymore

Met a girl in a chair with wheels but no one else would see her

Met a girl in a chair with wheels

Everyone was so afraid to even look down on her

And she just spread her little wings and flew away, yeah

I live this life until this life won’t let me live here anymore

Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door

I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go

I live this life til this life won’t let me live here anymore

Met a kid on a bridge last night contemplating freedom

Met a kid on a bridge last night

And he said, “I’m tired of this maddening life and I’m ready to go meet Jesus.”

I said, “He’s a friend of mine, met him just last night and it’s alright, yeah.”

I live this life until this life won’t let me live here anymore

Then I will walk, yes I will walk with patience through that open door

I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go

I live this life until this life won’t let me live here anymore

Met a man on the street last night, said his name was Jesus

Met a man on the street last night
