I Get Another Day

I can stop thinking about shooting rampage in a movie theater Friday in Aurora, Colo.  He is accused of killing 12 moviegoers and injuring 58 others in a shooting rampage at a packed midnight screening of the new Batman film.

Then today I heard Natalie Grant song - I Get Another Day - and it just brought tears to my eyes.

Have I hugged Ashley enough today?  Have I told my Dad how much I love him and what a wonderful father he has been to me? Does my mom know how much I appreciate all she does for me.?

Ashley asked me today if I died - would that mean she will never have a mommy again?  She asked would God send me back as another person?  She has some real questions for 4 years old.




Been driving through the night
Pull up and see the lights
This is the place that I call home
I watch you as you dream
I think of all you mean to me

Touch your face
Kiss you softly
And before I go to sleep
I pray under the stars
Search my soul and check my heart
And thank God for


Another day
Another chance to love the ones I love
To find my way
To laugh, to dance
And watch the sun come up
Another day I get to live
As if every breath could be the last I take
I get another day

I've got a hand that I can hold
Someone who knows my soul
A safe place to lay my head at night
Still sometimes I forget
Just how much I've been blessed in life
I forget what means the most to me, yeah.

As I'm waking up I feel my beating heart
So grateful that I've come this far
And thank god for

Another day
Another chance to love the ones I love
To find my way
To laugh, to dance
And watch the sun come up
Another day I get to live
As if every breath could be the last I take
I get another day


Another day to make somebody smile
Go the extra mile
To take a wrong and make it right
Yeah, I'm tryin' to touch somebody's life
I get another day, yeah, yeah

Thank God for another day
Another chance to love the ones I love
To find my way
To laugh, to dance
And watch the sun come up
Another day I get to live
As if every breath could be the last I take
I get another day

To find my way
To laugh, to dance
And watch the sun come up
Another day I get to live
As if every breath could be the last I take
I get another day

I get another day
I get another day
