There's No Way I Could Make It Without You

In our house, we like to watch Austin and Ally on Disney Channel.  As a matter of fact, I recently got the theme song stuck in my head when I was scrolling through the song list on my phone (Briggs has the album on his iPod, and thanks to iCloud, it is on my phone, too).  As I was singing the song (to myself, of course, when I was in the shower), it hit me how accurate the words are for our relationship with God.

Listen:
When the crowd wants more
I bring on the thunder
'Cause you got my back
And I'm not going under
You're my point
You're my guard
You're the perfect chord

And I see our names together on every billboard
We're headed for the top
We got 'em it lock
We'll make 'em say "Hey!"
'Cause there's no stopping us
When we hit the same but different
We're never gonna quit
And we'll keep rocking!
There's no way I can make it without you
Do it without you
Be here without you
It's no fun when you're doing it solo
With you it's like whoa
Yeah and I know
I, own this dream
Cause I've got you with me
There's no way I can make it without you
Do it without you
Be here without you

You got the skills
And I'm bringing the fire,
You're the fuel to my rocket
And it's taking us higher
Yeah we got my flow
And we're blowin' it UP
All our fans are gonna scream!
'Cause they can't get enough
We're headed for the top
We got 'em it lock
We'll make 'em say "Hey!"
'Cause there's no stopping us
When we hit the same but different
Were never gonna quit
And we'll keep rockin', oh!
There's no way I can make it without you
Do it without you
Be here without you
It's no fun when you're doing it solo
With you it's like whoa
Yeah and I know
I, own this dream
'Cause I've got you with me
There's no way I can make it without you
Do it without you
Be here without you

(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
I keep on rockin' with you
(Oh! Oh! Oh!)
And there's no stoppin us
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
I keep on rockin' with you
Ke-keep on rockin'
I, will keep on rockin!
There's no way I can make it without you
Do it without you
Be here without you
It's no fun when you're doing it solo
With you it's like whoa
Yeah and I know
I, own this dream
'Cause I've got you with me
There's no way I can make it without you
Do it without you
Be here without you!
Woaaah
Be here without you
Woaahoh
Be here without you - out you - out you
Be here without you - out you - out you!

I know some of you will think I've gone off the deep end or won't see what I'm talking about.  Some of you will think that some of the words don't fit, and maybe some of them don't.  But the ones that I put in bold certainly do.

Think about it: there's absolutely no way we could even have life if it weren't for God.  He gives us the very breath we breathe everyday.  We couldn't make it through one day without Him.  At least I know I couldn't.  I couldn't do this thing called life without God.  I am what I am and am here only because of the grace and mercy of our sovereign God.

"It's no fun when you're doing it solo, with you it's like whoa."  Think about how much better life is with God.  Trust me, I'm not saying that just because you believe in God there won't be trials and hardships.  There will be plenty. What I'm saying is think about how much worse life would be if we couldn't turn to God during those hardships.

I love the first part of the song where it says: "cause you got my back and I'm not going under. You're my point, You're my guard, You're the perfect chord...."  Seriously!  God "has our backs!"  He is for us, not against us!

So, yeah, it's not an awesome worship song or anything, but I hope that those of you with kids who watch Austin and Ally will think about this the next time you see the show.  Remember: there's no way we could make it without God.  And I'm just saying, "who would want to?"
