I wrote this in the 90's to sing in church. It is really based on a personal epiphany I had had after going through a mess at work.

I woke up one bright sunny morning
I once knew a man who questioned his making
His days he spent searching
�Till one sunny morning he woke without warning
And who was this man
I am the man who woke up that morning
Life is for living, for loving, and giving
Life is for living, for loving, and giving Copyright 2002 David Elon Preston
Without any warning, I felt loved
A feeling inside me
Said you�d never believe it,
If you look you can see it,
It�s God�s love
Never partaking his whole life long
He struggled the years
Sweating the small things
Not letting his heart sing
God�s Song
All the time working
For food he could put on the table
He never could see it
Or feel it or hear it
The truth is he just wasn�t able
And found himself soaring in God�s love
It filled full his senses
He could feel it, could hear it -
The song of God�s spirit
God�s song
Who struggled so hard
To make sense of the life he was living
And how did he learn
To let go of his fears
And feel the love God has been giving�..
No longer forlorn, hearing God�s song
Life is for living, for loving, and giving
And life is for singing
God�s song
And life is for singing
God�s song
And life is for singing
God�s song
