A Life Well Lived by Evan Murray Buckley



Oh, You saved my soul, but can You save my life
From the comforts of living first world
Coz apathy kills the seeds planted in our hearts
Without love we're a waterless well


But if we dare to stand on the battlefield
And we give up our lives for our brothers
Till when we're face to face we'll to our saviour say
That we shared the hope He gave us


Open all of the windows and see there's a world outside
And it's hurting and yearning for hope
But we have a saviour and we are not given life
Just to sit here and wait till we die


But if we dare to stand on the battlefield
And we give up our lives for our brothers
Till when we're face to face we'll to our saviour say
That we shared the hope He gave us


The days get shorter and the years roll on
What have we done? What have we done?

You gave up your life, that we might live
So how can we hold back what we have to give?
You gave up your life, that we might live
So how can we hold back what we have to give?


But if we dare to stand on the battlefield
And we give up our lives for our brothers
Till when we're face to face we'll to our saviour say
That we shared the hope He gave us
