Have You Ever

The Linn-Mar Variety Show was held last week. There was a fun mixture between the serious and the humorous, and student and staff. I was so impressed by the talent level of the students and their willingness to put themselves on the line to perform in front of their peers.

The show stopper was the last number, Lean on Me, performed by members of the chorale. It was inspirational! You can click on the picture above to see a slide show of the evening.

David Hoobler and Jon performed Shawn McDonald's, Have You Ever. It's a beautiful song about wanting and longing for more out of life. They dedicated the song to all those who are seeking and questioning the meaning of life. I couldn't have been more proud of these two young men and their longing to share Christ.

I was introduced to Shawn McDonald through Josh and Jon. I absolutely love his heart for the Lord and his music. Here are the lyrics to Have You Ever.

Have you ever wanted to be someone else
Have you ever wanted just to be someone
Have you ever wanted to reach your dreams
Have you ever wanted life to be more than it seems
I have tasted of a love so wide
That it stops all my time
I have tasted of a love so deep
That it blows my mind
Have you ever wanted to reach up and touch the sky
Have you ever wanted to pack it up and say good-bye
Have you ever wanted someone to care
Have you ever wanted someone to be there
He is sweet, He is sweet
What your looking for
Is my sweet, sweet Jesus
What You're looking for
Is my sweet Lord
