I'll never live my life fully if I do not know you died to set me free

33- Corrinne May

Feels like a milestone
Being in my 30s
Friends become mothers and fathers
With little ones of their own
So and so’s a doctor
A lawyer and accountant
So and so’s got married
They’ve got a lifetime ahead
A beautiful lifetime ahead

CHORUS
33, the age that You died for me
Now here I am at 33
33, You crowned it with Your life upon a tree
The mystery of Your love for me

We could have been schoolmates
Studying together
We could have had tea and scones
And talked about our day
You walk this path before me
Living close to guide me
You’re thirsting for someone
To show a little care
You’re hidden in faces everywhere

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Everyone’s got a song to sing
It doesn’t matter how short or long
Just let each note ring
So long as we’re in this key

CHORUS
33, the age that You died for me
Now here I am at 33
33, You crowned it with Your life to set me free
The mystery of Your love
The mystery of Your love for me

I was lazing on bed on facebook when I saw this song and I thought to myself that I really need to go and hear it. No regrets at all, it was all gain.

As I listened to the song I envied how corrinne may is able to think about things like this and I thought, enough, I will rise right now for the Lord. I will get off my bed and quit lazing around.

I song begins with a contrast of what 33 means for most people. It's where life begins, some say. For our Lord, it is when life ends. Nonetheless, 33 remains a high point in life for all, but you can say, it was the peak for our Lord.

So I regret that the line in the chorus cannot be changed into:
33, you'll culminate your life upon a tree.

And I'm 23, 10 years away from 33.
What trajectory of my life do I choose? It must be none other than
And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again (2 Cor 5:15).

How am I set free? I'm set free from the need to live for myself, I'm freed to live for You.
Because You died when You were 33, I will live for You while I am 23.
