We just added “Dash” by Crowder featuring TobyMac to Project 88.7!
“Dash” is all about acknowledging how short life is and not wanting to waste any moments. The Bible, and these lyrics, talk about how life is fleeting. We are here for what seems like a moment and then gone into eternity. Because of that, the Bible tells us to live with wisdom, and wisdom starts with knowing Jesus and honoring Him.
Matthew 7:24-27 tell us that when we build our lives on Jesus and on following Him according to His teachings in the Bible, our lives will be built on a firm foundation. Matthew 22:37-40 tells us the greatest commandments are to love God with our whole heart and love others well. There’s no better way to live a life than living for Jesus and helping other people get closer to Him. So as you listen to “Dash,” ask yourself “what am I living for?” And may your answer be “to know Jesus and make Him known, and to love others like He loves.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. (Psalm 90:10 NLT)
Lyrics
Sunday mornin’ Preacher said
“Life’s a mist it’s just a breath”
“We’re only here for a little while”
He talked about his daddy’s grave
It read 1910 to ’98
But the years between were just a little line
Got me wondering what I’m chasing
Don’t want another minute wasted
There’s a day we’re born, day we pass
In between there’s just a dash
What on earth am I doing?
What on earth am I doing?
Yeah I got time, but time goes fast
Yeah that line’s all I have
What on earth am I doing?
What on earth am I doing?
I could take this life and live it well
I could keep on living it for myself
What’s He gonna say when He calls me up? (yeah what’s He gonna say?)
Was I just words, or was I love?
Did I love great or just good enough?
I just hope He says well done
(What’s He gonna say?)
I keep on wondering what I’m chasing
Don’t want another minute wasted
