Get Up

Greetings Everyone!

Two things are in the forefront of my mind just now. Graduation (shout out to all the 2009 graduates out there!) and just living life. I was listening to Mary Mary's cd and the song "Get Up" came on. In case you don't know it, the song talks about getting up and doing what you have to do (and what God would have you do). It reminds us to keep in mind who we are, but more importantly whose we are. It says: what are you afraid of/don't you know what you're made of/one of God's greatest creations...

The entire song's lyrics are posted below. But basically in the midst of graduations and life in general...don't be afraid of where God is taking you. And have faith that He is the one taking you there. Don't let life lead you because it can lead you down all sorts of roads..if you find yourself somewhere you shouldn't be, cry out to Him,let Him direct your paths, order your steps. We are all here for a purpose. Find out what yours is, remember you're His creation..He loves you dearly...don't be scared, He made you, He put it in you. Pray, Trust Him, and GET UP!!!

 

Layin' low
Rest n' pause
Sleeping long
Slow motion

Shoulda, coulda
Woulda done
Excuses

What are you afraid of?
Don't you know
What you're made of?
One of God's
Greatest creations
Take this invitation now

Get up
'Cause you can't stop
Get up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
Almost gone
Get up
Don't sit there
Get up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don't stop and
Time won't wait

He said
She said
They said
What you said
It's your dreams
Your choice
Your time
Your life
So don't you
Don't you
Miss it

Get up
Got a lot to do

Almost gone

Welcome to the rest
Of your life
From now on, just try
To live more, want more
Work a little harder
Dance more, laugh more
Be a little smarter
Hug a little longer
Love a little stronger
You've been down
But now it's time to

Get up
'Cause you can't stop
Get up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
Almost gone
Get up
Don't sit there
Get up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don't stop and
Time won't wait (2x)

One more time, say
Get up (9x)
