My Own Little World

Every time I hear Matthew West's song, I think that this absolutely relates to me and how I'm feeling right now. I feel such a push to make changes in my life and reach outside this box I'm living in where everyday feels similar to the day before.

Sometimes I wonder... Is God pleased with my life so far or is He disappointed that I haven't come to bat in more ways for him (both near and far)? Am I following His good and faithful plan for my life?

In my own little world it hardly ever rains

I've never gone hungry, always felt safe

I got some money in my pocket, shoes on my feet

In my own little world

Population: me

I try to stay awake during Sunday morning church

I throw a twenty in the plate, but I never give 'til it hurts

I turn off the news when I don't like what I see

Yeah it's easy to do when it's 

Population: me

[chorus]

What if there's a bigger picture?

What if I'm missing out?

What if there's a greater purpose

I could be living right now

Outside my own little world

Well, I stopped at a red light, looked out my window

I saw a cardboard sign, said "Help this homeless widow"

Above that sign was the face of a human

and I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"

So I rolled down the window and I looked her in the eye

I thought how many times have I just passed her by?

So I gave her some money then I drove on through

And my own little world reached

Population: two

[chorus]

Father break my heart for what breaks Yours

Give me open hands and open doors

and put Your Light in my eyes and let me see

That my own little world is not about me

What if there's a bigger picture?

What if I'm missing out?

What if there's a greater purpose

I could be living right now

Well I don't wanna miss what matters

I wanna be reaching out

Showing the the greater purpose

so I could be living right now

Outside my own little world
