    Do Anything

    Do Anything is the title to a song that I wrote. It is really about what has been going on in my life. Songwriter's write about stuff we know and what do we know better than our own lives. I wanted to write a song that had been part of journey through life this last six months. 

    I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.  Almost every guy who lives long enough will probably get this form of cancer. Guess what? I have lived long enough to get it. Die young and don't get it. Get old and get it. I went with the second option. lol

    It is a long process figuring out if you have prostate cancer. I had mutliple bloods tests, fancier blood tests, MRI, Cat scan, and a biopsy. There is a lot of time spent waiting on test results. That is part of learning to be patient. Learning to be patient and being a good patient are two different things. 

    Here are the lyrics to my song.

    Do Anything

    It's MRI's and cat scans

    Xrays and blood tests

    hoping for the best results

    preparing for the worst.

     

    and when my faith get's tired

    I can't  sleep at night

    turn the lights back on

    get up for awhile

     

    Chorus- so I pick up my old guitar

    the one with nylon strings

    sing How Great Thou Art

    to Jesus Christ my King

     

    the one who saves me

    hears me when I pray

    who else could I go to

    that could do anything

     

    The blind and the deaf

    the sick, and the weaki

    It's me in those stories

    scriptures that I read

     

    I'm a lot like Thomas

    with my share of doubts

    all my clouds look black 

    as they drift about

     

    Chorus- so I pick up my old guitar

    the one with nylon strings

    sing How Great Thou Art

    to Jesus Christ my King

     

    the one who saves me

    hears me when I pray

    who else could I go to

    that could do anything

     

    I can't name a thing, that he cannot do

    a battle he can't win, if he chooses to

    Chorus- so I pick up my old guitar

    the one with nylon strings

    sing How Great Thou Art

    to Jesus Christ my King

     

    the one who saves me

    hears me when I pray

    who else could I go to

    that could do anything

     

    We all have dificulties in life. Mine helped me to know where my focus was going to be. I put my  faith in Jesus who can Do Anything.  Truly blessed. Jim
