Can't Live a Day Without You

During some personal worship time at home, I pulled out the song recorded by Avalon, "Can't Live a Day Without You".   I always liked the song; but, as I paid more careful attention to the words, I realized that the lyrics were actually a pretty accurate reflection of my perspective.

The first sentence is illustrated by placing my thorn on the altar. The second reflects my pragmatic nature, and not yet catching onto that "big dream". The chorus reflects what I have learned over time, that there is nothing in this world that compares with HIM; and that life is meaningless without HIM.  The second stanza says what I would say, after having traveled to different parts of the world. And as the ending says, He truly is everything to me; for to me, to live is Christ!

"Can't Live a Day Without You" lyrics:

I could live life alone and never fill the longings of my heart, 
the healing warmth of someone's arms.
And I could live without dreams, and never know the thrill of what could be, 
with every star so far and out of reach.
I could live without many things and I could carry on.
But...

Chorus:
I couldn't face my life tomorrow without Your hope in my heart,
I know I can't live a day without You.
Lord, there's no night and there's no morning without Your loving arms to hold me.
You're the heartbeat of all I do.
I can't live a day without You.

I could travel the world, see all the wonders beautiful and new.
They'd only make me think of You.
And I could have all life offered, riches that were far beyond compare, 
to grant my every wish without a care.
Oh, I could do anything
But if you weren't in it all,... 
(Chorus)

Oh, Jesus, I live because You live.
You're like the air I breathe.
Oh, Jesus, Oh, I have because You gave.
You're everything to me.
