Fifteen

This song has been on my heart for a while now. Partly because of its WONDERFUL message, and also because I'm experiencing a situation similar to it. Here's the lyrics to it. It's so powerful :)

I was sitting at the table 
As the waitress took our order 
In her eyes I knew that something wasn't right 
And before I saw it coming 
I was caught up in her story 
Of the storms that she had weathered in her life 
My friend said can we pray for you 
She said I think I'd like you to 
She walked away, we bowed our heads 
But then he turned to me and said 

If it takes fifteen times 
To hear about Jesus 
For someone to believe 
Wherever I stand in line 
I've got to make a difference 
In case it comes down to me 
'Cause, I may be the third, may be the seventh 
There may be years in between 
But what if I'm fifteen 
What if I'm fifteen 

Just a chapter in a story 
With the ending still unwritten 
Do they find the truth of Jesus after all As I listen for the whispers 
And I follow where they lead me 
I pray that I'll be faithful to the call 
If I'm who I'm supposed to be 
I know that God can work through me 
I may not understand it now 
But I believe somehow 

If it takes fifteen times 
To hear about Jesus 
For someone to believe 
Wherever I stand in line 
I've got to make a difference 
In case it comes down to me 
'Cause I may be the third, may be the seventh 
There may be years in between 
But what if I'm fifteen 
What if I'm fifteen 

God I don't want to miss the chances 
When you open the door 
What may seem so insignificant 
You see so much more 

If it takes fifteen times 
To hear about Jesus 
For someone to believe 
Wherever I stand in line 
I've got to make a difference 
In case it comes down to me 
'Cause I may be the third, may be the seventh 
There may be years in between 
But what if I'm fifteen 
What if I'm fifteen


Be blessed this week, sisters! :)
