Live for the Line

Live for the line, not for the dot

Give all you are and all you’re not

Keeping forever at the front of your heart and mind

All of the time, live for the line

There are desires deep in my heart

At the very core of my spirit

Revealed in my life, Your plans for me

Make them loud and clear, let me hear it

Lay it on me, unmistakably

Within my soul, give me a sign

And teach me how to live for the line

Live for the line, not for the dot

Give all you are and all you’re not

Keeping forever at the front of your heart and mind

All of the time, live for the line

It doesn’t matter where my gifts lie

Only that I’m willing to use them

I was sent to go forth and multiply

It wasn’t my option to choose them

Don’t despise what was planted

Or walk away empty-handed

We’re all commanded to shine

And to live for the line

So live for the line, not for the dot

Give all you are and all you’re not

Keeping forever at the front of your heart and mind

All of the time, live for the line

I’m not any better or any worse

For writing down my life in verse

I shouldn’t compete or compare

We’re better off if we don’t go there

We are learning to share our design

And to live for the line

Live for the line, not for the dot

Give all you are and all you’re not

Keeping forever at the front of your heart and mind

All of the time, live for the line

Keeping forever at the front of your heart and mind

All of the time, live for the line
