I've been rediscovering a lot of music lately, and I had forgotten how many Nichole Nordeman songs I love. This one is so the conversation of my heart that I mentioned in my last post. I've done some digging, I've tried not to be "simple minded," and I've found the holes and the problems in the logic... but when weighed against the possibility that IT'S TRUE, that hope is real, that Jesus is love and life abundant, I'd rather be wrong about Him than wrong in disbelief.
What if?
Nichole Nordeman
What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?
What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?
But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?
What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find?
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find?
What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold?

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long
But what if you're wrong?

Stop examining. Stop searching. If someone had told me (a little over) 7 months ago that I would spend the next 7 months laying in bed, or on the couch; trying to decide if I had the energy to get up and walk 20 feet to go use the powder room or if I could hold it for a bit longer while I tried to find the energy; or had to set multiple alarms throughout the day (wake up, feed the dog, feed the cats, take the dog out, take your pills, take a nap, wake up from your nap, take a walk, go to this doctor, go to that doctor, go to the shrink, 'amongst others') I would have stopped trying to guess or "examine" what was around every turn and bend, and enjoy this roller coaster ride for what it was meant for. Thrill...excitement...entertainment, enjoyment. The thrill isn't so thrilling when you know what's coming.
