"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel's will save it.”
Mark 8:35
Timmy is a very special boy. I have never met anyone like him.
Timmy has cerebral palsy so he had to use leg braces and crutches to walk. Yet he loved to dance and when he did, he looked silly dancing with his braces on his legs. He also loved to run races, even though he had no chance of winning.
But even with all the things that Timmy will never be able to do, he is the most joyful, loving, sincere person I’ve ever met.
Could I be as joyful and loving as Timmy if I were crippled? With these thoughts in mind, (and being a songwriter) a song began to take shape. Below are the lyrics:
Would I smile if I was broken, would I dance on crippled feet
Would I fall too far behind again, or run a race, I know I can’t complete
Would I give if I had nothing, and could I love, the ugly me
Would I try so hard to be so strong, when I know that all I am is weak
all I am is weak
Would I clench my fist, fall down and scream at all I cannot do
or would I dry my eyes and crawl back to my feet and stumble after You
Would I grin in my embarrassment, would I laugh when the joke is me
Could I look You in the eyes still, when my crippled legs are all that I can see
All that I can see
So take my hands if they won’t give and take my life so I can live
Take my eyes if they’re on me and take my heart and make it bleed
Take all this up to a hill and crucify the king of will
Till all I have runs down my face and I’m a wretch who’s drowning in Your grace
Prayer: So take my hands if they won’t give and take my life so I can live
Take my eyes if they’re on me and take my heart and make it bleed
Take all this up to a hill and crucify the king of will
Till all I have runs down my face and I’m a wretch who’s drowning in Your grace. Amen.
