    Lyrics:
    It was a test we could all hope to pass
    But none of us would want to take
    Faced with the choice to deny God and live
    For her there was one choice to make
    This was her time
    This was her dance
    She lived every moment
    Left nothing to chance
    She swam in the sea
    Drank of the deep
    Embraced the mystery
    Of all she could be
    This was her time

      @@riggthompson2648 Despite the long shadow of grief and sorrow that looms over Columbine High School; the families of the thirteen lives lost that day are all doing their best to cope. Some survivors have turned their pain into purpose; for example, Kacey Johnson (née Reugsegger) is an advocate for bone and tissue donation. There are some tales from the Columbine High School tragedy that can give some people a reason to smile and believe in the good of humanity. Firstly; Frank DeAngelis stayed on as the principal of Columbine High School until the last group of students who had been in Preschool at the time of the shooting had graduated. A small group of former students have returned to the school as teachers; their names are Katie Tennessen, Mandy Cooke, Alise Steiner, Noelle Sudano, Chris Welsh, Brett O'Neill, and Zach Martin. Though the biggest surprise is that Rachel Scott's mother Beth Nimmo not only forgave but also met Dylan's mother Sue Klebold. In an interview with Hoda Kotb for the "Today" show on NBC; Beth explained that forgiveness isn't saying that it was okay that this happened, but forgiveness is instead giving yourself permission not to make this tragedy your life sentence. Before she met her; Beth said that she asked God what she was supposed to say to Sue, and God told her that she should ask Sue about who Dylan was before April the 20th of 1999. When Beth asked this question; she said that tears began rolling down Sue's cheeks because no one had ever asked her such a question.

      Some people see the today you will be with me in paradise as Jesus saying he’s telling them that today, but that it happens later. As in “I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise” - because the original text didn’t have punctuation. It seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but there are other scriptures that seem to indicate a sleep period prior to the judgement. And paradise can’t be the same as eternal heaven because the judgement has not occurred yet so nobody is there now

    "I rewrote the end of the song with bagpipes... kind of a last minute thing. I was laying in bed at 3 o'clock in the morning and I heard bagpipes. I played it for Cassie's Mom and Dad and Misty [Cassie's Mom] said, "You're not going to believe this but Cassie's favorite instrument was bagpipes."

      I heard M.W. Smith on an interview talking about how he first met Cassie's parents, how he wanted to be the strong support for them. Then, when he got there, he said he just bawled like a baby and they had to console him. But then, he told them this beautiful story how he came to have this interlude with bagpipes and wanted to know how they felt. When her mother said it was Cassie's favorite instrument, it was really a powerful moment.
      Thank you, Michael W. Smith, for blessing us with a song that gives us a chance to strengthen our faith as well as to pray for those who lost loved ones. God bless you.

      According to survivors and the FBI investigation, this woman and these victims were sadly exploited. This song and the books that followed tell a reimagined version of the story that fits their narrative, but it's not what actually happened. Surviving victims claim to have heard the shooters ask the "famous question" one time to one person, Val Schnurr, who said yes - and survived the shooting. The other victims were mocked with comments like "peekaboo" or "found you."
      In the aftermath, storylines blurred together and certain people claimed they asked that question to every student and ran with the martyrdom story of this one victim. It was a horrific event with a tragic outcome and truly heartbreaking, but people need to start telling the true story and not perpetuate these false narratives.

    It was a test we could all hope to pass
    But none of us would want to take
    Faced with the choice to deny God to live
    For her, there was one choice to make
    This was her time, this was her dance
    She lived every moment, left nothing to chance
    She swam in the sea, drank of the deep
    Embraced the mystery of all she could be
    This was her time
    Though you are mourning and grieving with us
    Death died a long time ago
    Swallowed in life so that life carries on
    Still it's so hard to let go
    This was her time, this was her dance
    She lived every moment, left nothing to chance
    She swam in the sea, drank of the deep
    Embraced the mystery of all she could be
    What if tomorrow and what if today
    Faced with the question oh what would you say?
    This is your time, this is your dance
    Live every moment, leave nothing to chance
    Swim in the sea, drink of the deep
    Follow the mercy and hear yourself praying
    Won't you save me? Won't you save me?
    This is your time, this is your dance
    Live every moment, leave nothing to chance
    Swim in the sea, drink of the deep
    Embrace the mystery of all you can be
    This is your time, this is your dance
    Live every moment, leave nothing to chance
    Swim in the sea, drink of the deep
    Embrace the mystery of all you can be
    This is your time
    Won't you save me? This is your time
    Won't you save me?

      +BTS TRASH How do you know Cassie would not have said if she had been asked? The truth is that she was never asked that question. All Eric said before he shot Cassie was, "Peek-a-boo!" You can't go bashing people over an action they did not have the opportunity to take.

      DJCandyManMike I was trying to clarify and help them not be confused, So please do not assume I was 'bashing' someone over it. I know Eric said 'Peek-a-boo!' To her, but it was stated she was also praying. So please Stop assuming things.

    • @ThunderFist1978
      @ThunderFist1978 6 лет назад +5

      +BTS TRASH By not pointing out that Cassie was never asked the question that Rachel was asked, and by simply saying that she did not say yes and simply prayed during the ordeal, you were implying that she was asked that question and did not answer it as Rachel had, which does look like bashing. If I had been in your place, I would have worded it like this: "The truth is, Cassie's story did not end the way Michael W. Smith, and even her parents, were led to believe it did. Cassie's best friend, who was under the table with her, has testified that Cassie was never asked whether she believed in God, and that Eric Harris simply said, 'Peek-a-boo!' before pulling the trigger. Cassie's friend also said that Cassie was praying while the ordeal was going on, so her faith was evident, but she was never asked that question that many believed she was asked, and that she responded to with a yes." Do you see the difference between that and the way you worded it?

    For those who have watched this video who have not been saved, I have good news for you. You can start a relationship with God and then know that you have Heaven to look forward to someday. It starts with repentance. You tell God that you are sorry for your sin and mean it. Then you ask God to live in you. You have a time where you are then forgiven and then you begin to know God. Nobody is perfect getting informed that you have sin for Jesus to cleanse is not a reason to feel singled out.

    I remember he made this song for the beautiful children that lost their lives years ago. It's Halloween I was 17 years old when that happened and when those 2 boys asked them if they believed in God and they said yes, I do. That's what I knew they were in heaven. At that moment before the bullet even hit him. Jesus is truly amazing, father. If we just give him praise and love every day and show it to others.
    And if others would just open up their hearts, they didn't see what I just the amazing father Jesus is truly.
    Hes our king and he will forever reign.
