Theme songs for our lives…Lifesong

What would your theme or lifesong sound like?

Our Lifesong is Worship

Worship is not music (that’s a form of worship)

Worship reflects where your faith is - What you believe in is shown in the actions of your life

James 2:18 ESV

18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

The theme or lifesong of your life is revealed in the works you do

What does that look like in our Christian walk?

Is it going to church?

Is it reading your bible?

Is it going to camp?

yes but that’s not all

Romans 12:9–18 ESV

9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:9-

This is what it looks like to have our lives sold out for the Gospel

And Now My Lifesong sings -

I once was lost but now I’m found

I once was lost but now I’m found

So far away but I’m home now

I once was lost but now I’m found

And now my lifesong sings

I once was blind but now I see

I once was blind but now I see

I don’t know how but when He touched me

I once was blind but now I see

And now my lifesong sings

And now my lifesong sings

And now my lifesong sings

I once was dead but now I live

I once was dead but now I live

Now my life to you I give

Now my life to you I give

Now my life to you I give

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Let my lifesong sing to you

What would those around you say is the theme song or lifesong of your life? (Answers will vary)

How does the Gospel reframe the structure of your theme/lifesong? (Christ gives us new life, the desires and passions we had for the things of this world are no longer our focus, rather our lives are for the glory of His name)

How has Christ changed for you personally what your theme/ lifesong projects? (answers will vary but try to get students to point out key points in their life where they were ensnared by sin and how Christ rescued them from that. Awesome opportunity for believers to share joyfully about the goodness of Christ in His mercy to us.)

What has changed for you, through the Gospel, in what your theme/ lifesong projects?
