Song of the Week: Why Georgia

This weeks song of the week is coming a bit late. I've been contemplating cutting this part of my blog - what do you think?

This last weekend at The Orchard Ted talked about life with a purpose. He talked about the 'research' that Solomon did back in Old Testament times. Solomon found that life apart from God was meaningless, like chasing after the wind. If you didn't get to hear Ted's message, check out the podcast.

The music team and I performed the song Why Georgia by John Mayer. Here are a few of the lyrics:

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Wood in places to make it feel like home
But all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
Or just the stirring in my soul

Either way I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on
But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
That's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
Still "everything happens for a reason"
Is no reason not to ask myself

If I am living it right
Am I living it right?

Part of the journey is understanding understanding you were made on purpose. Why were you made? Are you living the way you were designed to?

Peace.
