One way ticket
04.15.2005 at 9:58 p.m.

I'm quite a fan of country music, as I am with a lot of music, except punk, rock, metal, etc. That's what I used to be into, but now I'll stick to Country and Christian. Anyway, on the way home this morning I heard this song, and as much of a fan I am of this music, I'm an even greater fan of changing it around to fit the purpose it was intended; to glorify God. So he helped me out, and this is what we came up with.

The original song is "One way ticket" by LeAnn Rimes.

Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster as I step out on my own
There's new horizon and the promis of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight, traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again

And buy one way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know (Because I can)
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm stron enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings and tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting, dwon at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind

And buy a one way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring ran
And talk to someone I don't know (Because I can)
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees through the valley of the
shadow of deatht
Then the truth came shining like a light on me and
now I can see my way out

I'm gonna buy a one way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I'm gonna buy a one way ticket on a west bound train
Gonna have my breakfast with pink champagne
I'm gonna sail the ocean, I'm gonna spread my wings
I'm gonna climb that mountain, gonna do everything


And we came up with this:

Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster as I step out, NOT on my own
There's new horizon and the promis of favoring Savior
I'm heading out tonight, traveling light
I've already started all over again.

I've got a one way ticket on a North bound train
Let's see how far I will go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out PRAISE dancing in the pouring rain
And witness to people I don't know (Because I can)
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough;
I already let things go.
And I have fallen in love with Jesus
Hallelujiah

I've already climbed the mountain
And look the devil in the eye
I said I won't let fear clip my wings and tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed you
When everything you said was a lie.
Freedom was waiting, down at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind

I've got a one way ticket on a North bound train
Let's see how far I will go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out PRAISE dancing in the pouring rain
And witness to people I don't know (Because I can)
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough;
I already let things go.
And I have fallen in love with Jesus
Hallelujiah

I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees through the valley of the
shadow of death.
Then the truth came shining down His light on me and
now I can see my way out

I've got a one way ticket on a North bound train
See how far I can go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out praise dancing in the pouring rain
And witness to people I don't know
I've got a one way ticket on a North bound train
I once was lost, but now I'm saved.
I'm gonna cross the ocean, I'm gonna spread my wings
I've climbed that mountain, I'm gonna do everything
=================================

YAY JESUS! <3
He and I have a great time together.
