Story Behind The Song
I was praying and meditating on how we should embrace all that God has for us, aligning our lives with his will rather than trying to get him to match his will to our desires. I wrote this song to help instruct and inspire that desire in the church I serve.

Lyrics
ALIVE
© 2002 Roger Shenk.
Is there more to this,
this thing that we call ?faith??
And why do I resist
giving you full claim of my life?
My plans and my dreams,
My fears and my passions.
If only I laid hold of you
like you?ve laid hold of me
I would fly free.
I?d be fully alive in you!
I?d be growing my life in you.
It?s how it should be. Alive!
So much more to this,
this thing that we call ?faith?.
And I will not resist
giving you full claim of my life.
My heart and my soul,
My strength and devotion.
Lord I will lay hold of you
like you?ve laid hold of me
(chorus)
Lord, I bow down
the center of my life to you.
I?m stepping in with both feet,
I enter into this agreement
To align my life with you.
(chorus x 3)
