"It's Your Life"

We're going to talk about the meaning behind some of the Christian songs that you can find on KLOVE or Air1. This week, we're talking about "It's Your Life" by Francesca Battistelli. The song will be posted below our discussion with the lyrics under the video.

  ¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
~Matthew 5 (NIV)

This passage is saying that a town on a hill can be seen everywhere, just as when you light a candle, you wouldn't hide it, but let it shine. We are lights for God, and we need to shine to others.

What we do and how we live is all about our decisions. We show people a Godly lifestyle in how we live. You can't think that your choices don't matter.

In what ways can you live a Godly lifestyle? Praying for guidance to help you live a more Godly lifestyle. If you find that you are about to swear, change the swear word to a different word. If someone's books fall all over the hallway, instead of laughing and walking away, help them pick up the papers.

You are to the age where you make your own decisions. Yes, you have to follow your parents rules, but they don't make your decisions for you. You can chose to live like a sinner, or to live like God. It's YOUR choice.



It's Your Life by Francesca Battistelli

This is the moment
It’s on the line
Which way you gonna fall?
In the middle between
Wrong and right
But you know after all

(Chorus)
It’s your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s your life

Are you who you always said you would be?
With a sinking feeling in your chest
Always waiting for someone else to fix you
Tell me when did you forget

(Chorus)

To live the way that you believe
This is your opportunity
To let your life be one that lights the way

(Chorus)
