Could Be A Celebration - Rich Mullins Lyrics

"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"
