I recently discovered the band Casting Crowns and I am really enjoying their music. A few nights ago when I was driving home from work, I was listening to a song called Here I Go Again. It's about trying to share your faith with someone and being afraid, but also about how it's not good to be afraid because you never know when you will run out of time to share. With the recent events in my life it really got to me, and as I drove and cried I was thankful that I know the route from work to home so well that I can put the car on autopilot and drive without much thought as to where I am going. I thought I would share the lyrics with you and if you have the chance to listen to the song I highly recommend it.

Here I Go Again

Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to sayI only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away

So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause here I go again
Talkin 'bout the rain
And mulling over things that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him That You love Him
But here I go again, here I go again

Lord, You love him so, You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe; he will never die
But how then will he know what he has never heard
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life

So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause here I go again
Talkin 'bout the rain
And mulling over things that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him That You love Him
But here I go again, here I go again

This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
You love him, You love him

What Am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard
