A Life For Sale

For sale, one life, lots of miles,
some smiles, some pain, some strife,
but all in all not a bad life
I used it hard it's all I knew
I pushed and pulled and drug it through
More things I'd change than I would not
I'd have smiled more and not have fought
to keep what wasn't worth a thing
but even that's worth remembering

Wellllll.....sometimes the pushing and pulling was fun
and we laughed afterwards at the things we had done
On second thought, it's not for sale
I couldn't sell such a precious thing
with miles and smiles and pain and strife
all in all it's a pretty good life
You see, now that I think instead of react
it's a pretty good life and that's a fact

I had someone dear cling tight to me
I had someone near do right by me
I had someone bear my wrongs for me
I had someone fight and be strong for me

I think the sale I'd like to make
Is purchase the vision to look ahead
...and trust I might fight....but only to do right
...and see the miles and smiles and pain and strife
Not as impediments..... but as my life

No, it's not for sale I couldn't bear it
But, tell you what... I'm willing to share it
The more I look, The more there is
Forgoodnesssake there's more than I can use

Look, take what you need any part ...
Just choose
look take just a little, if you're not sure
and when you are - take some more
It's worth nothing to me unless you do

Hey! Take it all there's lots more where that came from
It came to me from the Father by way of the Son
No, my life's not for sale
It was purchased before
and given back - a gift - by the Son restored.
