I Just Wanna’ Go On
Yesterday, at around 4:30PM, I was standing in the Del Mar conference room at work, just watching the sunset – - this song came into my mind… hopefully I’ll have a chance to record and post it soon -
vs.1
Standin’ here watchin’ the sun go down,
Just thinkin’ of how You’ve turned this life around -
I’m singin’ away this prayer to You -
So thankful for the things You’ve brought me through…
An’ I know there have been times along this way -
Oh, when my heart has drifted – far away from You…
Chorus:
Oh, but I don’t wanna go on livin’ those days
I don’t wanna dwell on findin’ all the ways – that I could turn my heart from You…
I don’t wanna go on fearing the past -
I just wanna go on livin’ for those things that are gonna last – oh,
I just wanna go on – - –
vs.2
Sittin’ here watching the clouds go by
I’m dreamin’ of You as I look to the – sky…
I know that You planted all these things in me -
They lift me up as I start to – Fly….
Oh God, I’m so amazed…
Chorus:
Oh, but I don’t wanna go on livin’ those days
I don’t wanna dwell on findin’ all the ways – that I could turn my heart from You…
I don’t wanna go on fearing the past -
I just wanna go on livin’ for those things that are gonna last – oh,
I just wanna go on – - –
‘Oh God, I’m so amazed.’
nice piece of writing, chris! it’s a great reminder to put the past behind us and move forward, which pastor’s spoken about a lot recently. can’t wait to hear the melody!
