This song is on the radio some, but not in the acoustic mix. I stumbled across this version in Spotify a few weeks ago, and can't get enough of it. I'm discovering more and more how much I really like simple... solo voice, maybe two, guitar... not much else.
The other day I was thinking to myself made a list of all my mistakes...
How well I identify with this line. The ability to rattle off a list a mile long of all the mistakes I've made (today). And the choice daily of what to do with those mistakes. Do you decide it's the end and that you can't get to the "right" finish because you took the "wrong" path? Where do you go with your list of mistakes?
Sometimes I take my mistakes to people who I know are like salt in an open wound. You know the ones, the people who will make you feel even worse. Who will "rub your nose in it". Sometimes I take my mistakes to my Father - who knows me, who loves me, and who will help to clear the infection made by those mistakes. (Which, I should add, might still be painful... but that's a topic for a different post) My Father who says "you gotta get back up again... you CAN get up again."
Do you get stuck in the place of "I can't"? The "I've screwed it all up so royally there's no recovery for me" spot? Just remember:
And I guess not every little thing
Works out just the way you dreamed
You can take a couple wrong turns
Still end up where you're supposed to be
Our God is the maker of the paths. There is no path so far gone that He can't get you back where you're supposed to be.
The other day, I was thinking to myself
Made a list of all my mistakes
Oh, I wish I could've run to you
And tell you all about my heartbreak
And I wondered to myself "Wait a minute
Am I even on the right path now?"
Had a couple wins, but I got knocked down
But I know if you were still around, you would say
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
You gotta get up, up again
Keep holding on, it's not the end
You gotta get up, up again
You can get up, up again
You can get up, up again
And I guess not every little thing
Works out just the way you dreamed
You can take a couple wrong turns
Still end up where you're supposed to be
And even though in a moment
I know anything can change
You're perfect plans might fall apart
But the simple truth remains
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
You gotta get up, up again
Keep holding on, it's not the end
You gotta get up, up again
You, you can get up, up again
You can get up, up again
You, you can get up, up again
You can get up, up again
'Cause you've only got one life
And you don't know when it ends
You've only got one heart
So get out there and live
Yeah, you've only got one life
Don't let it get away
Everyone falls down
But you can get up, up again
You, you can get up, up again
You can get up, up again
And I guess not every little thing
Works out just the way you dreamed
You can take a couple wrong turns
Still end up where you're supposed to be
