Done Living...

Here is a song that I listened to over and over again while running the Austin Marathon. When it gets toward the end, and speaks about running until you can't take a step, it really spoke to me. As a Christian dad, I need to keep reminding myself that it isn't about doing everything alone. (2:01 on the video) Sometimes we need to ask Him, as well as those around us, for help.

Done Living
by Justin McRoberts

Well, I spent the whole night fighting
Fighting with some ghost
And when the break of morning found me
I’d both won and lost

You see the question isn’t
Are you going to suffer any more
But what will it have meant when you are through?
The question isn’t are you going to die, you’re going to die
But will you be done living when you do?

Yes, I spent the whole day running
Trying to catch the sun
But when the darkness overtook me
All my running had made me strong

So run till you cannot take a single step in strength
Then crawl on your hands and knees, till your hands and knees they ache
And when you cannot crawl
It will be me you call to carry you back home again.
