Is it possible to live larger than life? It depends on where your definition of life takes you. If you believe your time, here on Earth, is all you’ll ever have, then no. You’ll never live larger than life. But if you know there’s an eternity waiting for you…provided by your Creator…then the answer’s yes. And when you know and understand how life is much more than the material things you can gather, your acquire a much larger (and more important) perspective.
Recently I’ve been sharing lyrics to songs I never completed or composed. Today, I’d like to share some more non-song lyrics. I wrote this in November of 1988. Back then I was looking at where the United States was headed, and I didn’t like the direction. Sadly, the country has taken turns for the worse since then. If you disagree, I’d love to hear from you. Do you believe our country and our world are better off now than we were in the past? If so, please show me…because I believe there are far too many people who don’t realize that life is…
Larger Than Life
We live in a greed land”take more than we need land.
We go for the gusto”creating a dustbowl.
A media earful”is leaving us fearful.
It may come to haunt us”someday doesn’t want us.
More money, more persona”everyone’s a prima donna.
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
Another car and another diamond”
The way we take is like a crime, and
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
We’re living much faster”we flirt with disaster.
We use our resources as conquering forces.
We don’t hear the drumming”the enemy’s coming.
We still have a Savior”let’s change our behavior.
More money, more persona”everyone’s a prima donna.
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
Another car and another diamond”
The way we take is like a crime, and
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
There’s so much more than just the here and now.
This isn’t nearly all there is.
But there are too many here who will never know how
This isn’t nearly all there is”
Life is larger than life.
