Step Up

A few days ago I decided to pull out some old CD's because I was getting tired of what has been in my car for the last several months. One of the ones I got out was Newsboys "Step up to the Microphone" and I'd say this one is about 10 years old. The cover song really got me thinking about how as a Christian I am supposed to tell others about God. Now my personal take on this is that I don't necessarily have to talk about God in every single conversation or the very first time I meet someone. In fact, I feel I am better able to share God through my day to day behavior and how I treat others. Don't get me wrong, I do share my beliefs with a lot of people, but I try to do it in a way that is fitting for the person that I am talking to and in a way that is appropriate for whatever type of situation it is. Anyway, back to the song, I just really liked the words and thought I would share them with anyone who hasn't heard the song before. 

I'll say hello
to anyone who's listening
put on a show
if that's what makes your ears prick
this microphone
will take a word and make it bigger
oh hello
so here goes

Chorus
"steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
there's only one way!

one God one body one faith alone
if you don't know
then ya need to be told!

steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
there's only one way!

one God one body one faith alone
I said hey boy
it's a narrow road"

I say hello
to anyone who's listening
the message ain't nothing new
I don't decide what's true
so when the stones get thrown
they either miss or
they turn to glory
here's the story as far as i know

steppin' up
I don't step alone
the question is "how do we know
what we know"
the answer is so plain to me
so here I go
tap the mic "test 1, 2, 3"
