Back Story: I've lost a lot of friends in the past few years and have been trying to put it all in perspective. Once you can look back and forward extrapolating based on your life experiences life is pretty awesome (especially after age 50). I know I have a better life than 95 percent of the world and as I write below, "Found the love of my life--and shes still here with me." I am glad God made to to seek and learn, for me life just keeps getting better and better.
Song: I thumped around on my guitar with the 3 chords I can barely play D A G etc. A to G sounded cool. Came up with chord changes (Jay added F and some others as well as a capo). I got my daughter to play it while I did a horrible scratch but enough to hear the melody. Jay Speight sings and climbs to where I could not go....The lyric and the melody parts are easy, music is the hard part for me. But even that is getting better....
Both Ends

I’ve seen puppies born, buried my old dog too
Been rescued by a friend, and I've rescued a few
Spent time running from, and facing my fears
Lost good friends, choked back old man tears
CHORUS:
GOD’S WORD SAYS INTO EACH LIFE SOME RAIN IS GONNA FALL
THERE ARE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED, IF WE LEARN AT ALL
I HOPE YOU KNOW LOVE BY BEING LOVED BY A FRIEND
LIFE’S PRETTY AWESOME, WHEN YOU CAN SEE BOTH ENDS
Found the - love of my life, she's still here with me
I'm a lucky man, got reasons to believe
Some days I still think I can change the world
Leave a better place , for my son and baby girl
CHORUS:
GOD’S WORD SAYS INTO EACH LIFE SOME RAIN IS GONNA FALL
THERE ARE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED, IF WE LEARN AT ALL
I HOPE YOU KNOW LOVE BY BEING LOVED BY A FRIEND
LIFE’S PRETTY AWESOME, WHEN YOU CAN SEE BOTH ENDS
BRIDGE:
life taught me humility by being humiliated
I learned compassion - oh, from the gracious
Learned boldness when someone stood up for me
I found forgiveness, and that’s the key to peace
CHORUS:
GOD’S WORD SAYS INTO EACH LIFE SOME RAIN IS GONNA FALL
THERE ARE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED, IF WE LEARN AT ALL
I HOPE YOU KNOW LOVE BY BEING LOVED BY A FRIEND
LIFE’S PRETTY AWESOME, WHEN YOU CAN SEE BOTH ENDS
TAG:
YEAH, LIFE’S PRETTY AWESOME, WHEN YOU CAN SEE BOTH ENDS
In all cultures there is no law against love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galations 5:22-23 (I think)
