I heard a song that speaks about this busy, hurried world. How many times do we do the urgent instead of the important. “Til You Can’t” was performed by Kid Rock at the Turning Point USA alternative Super Bowl half time show. It touched my heart deeply. Here are the lyrics.
You can tell your old man
You’ll do some largemouth fishing another time
You just got too much on your plate to bait and cast a line
You can always put a rain check in his hand
‘Til you can’t
You can keep putting off forever with that girl who’s heart you hold
Swearing that you’ll ask some day further down the road
You can always put a diamond on her hand
‘Til you can’t
There’s a box of greasy parts sitting in the trunk of that ’65
Still waiting on you and your grandpa to bring it back to life
You can always get around to fixing up that old Pontiac
‘Til you can’t
So, take that phone call from your momma and just talk away
‘Cause you’ll never know how bad you wanna ’til you can’t someday
Don’t wait on tomorrow ’cause tomorrow may not show
Say your sorries, your I-love-yous, ’cause man you never know
If you got a chance, take it, take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it, ’cause a dream won’t chase you back
If you’re gonna love somebody
Hold ’em as long and as strong and as close as you can
‘Til you can’t
For those of you that did not see the performance, it is worth watching online (link below). After he finished the song as written, he looked at the audience and said he woke up with a thought in his head. A voice said to him, “there is still a verse that is still not written” and he then sang…
There is a book in your house that needs some dusting off
There is a man who died for all our sins hanging on a cross
You can give your life to Jesus and He’ll give you a second chance
‘Til you can’t
We are challenged to believe that sacrifice was for us. Think deeply about it while you can. Make the right decision before it is too late and you can’t.
Here is the link to the performance. I pray it touches you like it touched me.
