Could Be A Celebration

Rich Mullins


"Standin' on the border 
Hangin' on the edge 
Your life lies out before you 
On the road that runs ahead 
Sometimes what looks to be the worst 
Turns out to be the best 
But whatever comes down your way 
You'll be taking it step by step 

Could be a celebration 
Or it could be a hurt 
That makes your soul awaken 
In the echoes of what you heard 
'Cause when your faith get shaken 
Sometimes your heart gets stirred 

Rolling with the punches 
You're down but you're not out 
Somehow I've got a hunch 
That you ain't throwin' in the towel 
You're not yet the winner 
But you're still in the fight 
And it's best you just remember 
Who it is that's on your side 

Could be a celebration 
Or it could be a hurt 
That makes your soul awaken 
In the echoes of what you heard 
'Cause when your faith gets shaken 
Sometimes your heart gets stirred 

When it's time for quitting 
And when the day is done 
Ain't it nice to have some rhythm 
Ain't it nice to have some fun 
Drinking in that sweetness 
That's pulsing in the air 
Catch a scent of that fragrance 
Rising up on your prayer 

Could be a celebration 
Or it could be a hurt 
That makes your soul awaken 
In the echoes of what you heard 
'Cause when your faith gets shaken 
Sometimes your heart gets stirred 

Could be a celebration 
Or it could be a hurt 
That makes your soul awaken 
In the echoes of what you heard 
'Cause when your faith gets shaken 
Sometimes your heart gets stirred 

Be a celebration 
It could be a celebration 
And it could be a celebration"
