A Day & A Night

Verse 1
Sunday was a sunny day, 'bout the middle of the month of May. I hadn't eaten food for days, but I was feastin' on five days of praise. The world says eat right. The world says exercise your body. What the world say? You still die anyway! The Word says eat light (don't eat), exorcise your spirit. Then, the Word says, you'll live forever and a day…

Chorus 1
'Cause this a day & a night in the Life of the Right, and all the Life that I have left is the Life of Christ. (It's in the Life of Christ.).

Verse 2
For all of my life I just couldn't sleep. I tried doctors, pills and counting sheep. My brother/sister both saw that I could barely stand. They said, "Tonight, why don't you try countin' on the Lamb." (And now, I sleep soundly in the Great "I am"!). The world says it's stress-related. Meditate & medicate it. Listen to the Spirit say "There must be a better way." The Lord says we're all related--family. Pray, meditate upon each other and His Word, finding peace in the Lord…

Chorus 2
'Cause this a day & a night in the Life of the Right, and the only Life that I have left is in the Life of Christ. (It's the perfect Life of Christ.)

Instrumental Interlude

Chorus/Tag/Ending
This is a day & a night in the Life of the Right, Where His Blood and His Breath is on my right & on my left, & all my ins & my outs, where all my confidence & doubt, here all my smiles & my frowns, & yes, my ups & my downs, I got my joy & my pain, I love the sunshine & rain, where my broken body is my witness to my superior spiritual fitness, I got my deserts & my fountains, through the valley to the mountain, through all this life & death, I tell you "ALL that I have left is in the Life of Christ!"

      Yes, there's music.

      I have just the melody recorded, but not digitally. I looked for it on my PC to send to my Dad (see below), but it's not there. If you want to hear it at the same time I send it to him, I will have to send it to your private e-mail address. It won't be ready to post to YT or anything for quite a while.

      Thanks for your comment. That's my favorite part, too. If you look at my pic, you'll see I'm wearing a knee brace. I wear braces for just about every joint and should really be in a wheelchair, but when dancing for the Lord, I get a glimpse of what ForeverLife will be like when we get our Glorified Bodies.
