Good To Be Alive (in part)
Songwriters: Ross Golan / Andy Grammer / Ian Kirkpatrick / Ryan Joshua Metzger
I was dead in the water, nobody wanted me
(Uh-huh) I was old news, I went cold as cold could be
(Uh-huh) but I kept throwing on coal tryna make that fire burn
(Uh-huh) sometimes you gotta get scars to get what you deserve
(Uh-huh) I kept moving on and now I’m moving up
(Uh-huh) damn, I’m feeling blessed with all this love
(Uh-huh) I was old news, I went cold as cold could be
(Uh-huh) but I kept throwing on coal tryna make that fire burn
(Uh-huh) sometimes you gotta get scars to get what you deserve
(Uh-huh) I kept moving on and now I’m moving up
(Uh-huh) damn, I’m feeling blessed with all this love
I think I finally found my hallelujah
I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life
Now all my dreams are coming true, yeah
I’ve been waiting for this moment
I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life
Now all my dreams are coming true, yeah
I’ve been waiting for this moment
Feels good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
Good, good, good, good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
Good, good, good, good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
Hallelujah, let that bass line move ya, say hey
Pretty good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
Good, good, good, good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
Good, good, good, good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)
Hallelujah, let that bass line move ya, say hey
Pretty good to be alive right about now (woo-hoo)

I could get u-, could get used to this
I almost can-, cannot handle it
I could get u-, could get used to this
I could get u-, could get used to this
I almost can-, cannot handle it
I could get u-, could get used to this
I think I finally found my
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)

For your consideration…
I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head. Monday’s can be tough so I guess we needed the pep talk to get us going.
Our message today is that we all have ups and downs both small moments and periods in our life. But if we can keep moving forward with an open heart and feel love, then we will be blessed with those hallelujahs.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?” It will lead us to our hallelujahs.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
What made me smile yesterday….
-What else can you do when you wake up to an ice storm in the middle of April.
-A great conference cal with Leah. I love, love, love the cover she has done for my book.
-Some crafting done.
-Catching up with Jody and Alex.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
