Christ is All You Need

Hey! I've never done a song story before, so bear with me if it isn't good!
Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Lay your head down tonight
Take a rest from the fight
Don’t try to figure it out
Just listen to what I’m whispering to your heart
‘Cause I know this is not
Anything like you thought
The story of your life was gonna be
And it feels like the end has started closing in on you
But it’s just not true
There’s so much of the story that’s still yet to unfold

She's the one who ran her race, and finished last. Her career was over. All the pressure that was on her caused her to start to drown in expectations. She was going to quit.

And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
You’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding

God’s plan from the start
For this world and your heart
Has been to show His glory and His grace
Forever revealing the depth and the beauty of
His unfailing Love
And the story has only begun

He was done. He was tired and worn. He worked hard all day, 24/7, trying to be both dad and mom to his kids, and now they were going to be taken away from him. "What is my life worth?"

And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
We’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding

We were made to run through fields of forever
Singing songs to our Savior and King
So let us remember this life we’re living
Is just the beginning of the beginning

Of this glorious unfolding
We will watch and see and we will be amazed
If we just keep on believing the story is so far from over
And hold on to every promise God has made to us
We’ll see the glorious unfolding

Just watch and see (unfolding)
This is just the beginning of the beginning (unfolding)

And they both turned on their radios, flipping through all the anger, anxiety, and bitterness that was the message of the pop stars. One drove west from Nevada, the other north from San Jose, and they stopped on one small radio station 103.9, also called The Fish. There Glorious Unfolding came on. 

As she listened, the girl drove to the side of the highway and pulled into a small side street, just listening as her heart broke. She had worth, she had a purpose. How long she stayed there, she didn't know, the only clock being the rising winter sun. 

He pulled out of courthouse, tired and alone. His ex had won and she had custody of the kids. Not knowing what to do he just sat and broke down. "Why?!" He screamed, not knowing who he was screaming at. Alone in his house, the radio playing, an old and worn out book caught his attention. His book of quotes. Randomly, he flipped to a page and there was only one quote on it. It said: "You'll never know that Christ is all you need until Christ is all you have" (Corrie TenBoom).
