Never Be Ready

I've been loving the new Mat Kearney CD 'City of Black & White' recently. My favourite song right now is 'Never Be Ready'. The words are really meaningful to me right now, as I prepare to enter a new season in my life. I'm the kind of person willing to take risks and jump in with both feet ... and I want to remind myself to do that, even though it might be hard, and I can come up with a million reasons not to. I don't want fear to hold me back from doing something, and then regret not doing it later on. We can't always be waiting for tomorrow to come to do something, and sometimes we've just got to take the step forward in faith, whether we feel ready to or not, and just trust that it will be alright.

we got our feet on the wire
talking about flying
maybe we're diving in over our heads
scared of what i'm feeling
staring at the ceiling
here tonight
come on lay down these arms
all our best defenses
we're taking our chances here on the run
if fear is an anchor
then time is a stranger
love isn't borrowed
we aren't promised tomorrow

we'll never be ready
if we keep waiting for the perfect time to come
hold me steady
we'll never be ready
when we don't know, though we can't see
just walk on down this road with me
hold me steady
we'll never be ready

you're ok here with me
here in the silence
with all of the violence
crashing around
saying we can't go
saying we don't know
this road that is narrow
is the one we should follow

steady my hands this one could turn around
steady my heart it's beating faster
steady my hands this one could turn around
steady my heart it's beating faster, beating faster now

we'll never be ready
if we keep waiting for the perfect time to come
hold me steady
we'll never be ready
when we don't know, though we can't see
just walk on down this road with me
hold me steady
we'll never be ready
