Wendy Pettingill – Impact Lyrics

Today was the day I found out
just what I'm all about
Next to the ocean I feel so small
Today was the day I realized
The world doesn't revolve around my life
If I were a bird I'd fly to a distant place
See cruelty to all of God's race
What a disgrace
What could I have done?
Did my words have an impact
I might as well be slapped
look at the damage my hate has done

Do you think your words don't matter? They're the meat on life's platter
What you say is what is served
sour food isn't deserved
Do you think your thoughts don't count?
Your actions aren't the right amount
God sees what you do
Cause your life has an impact too

Today is all the time we have
just think a little
You can almost hear God's call
Today is all the things we need
just open up and see
this new world
If I could see my life in my face
I'd see reason to be ashamed
What a disgrace
What should I have said
Could my ideas have an impact?
I might as well be slapped
Look at the help my love could have done

Do you think your words don't matter
They're the meat on life's platter
What you say is what is served
Sour food isn't deserved
Do you think your thoughts don't count?
Your actions ain't the right amount
God sees what you do
Cause your life has an impact too

What you think about could have helped what you blab about isn't right
Think about what you do
Cause that bad luck could be you
What if your actions turn around
Would you still be on level ground?
You could be hurting someone not even knowing
If you plant a seed help it's growing
your impact sure is showing
face the light even though it's bright
Com'on you know God is right
(God is right, God is right...)

Do you think your words don't matter
They're the meat on life's platter
What you day is what is served
Sour food isn't deserved
Do you think your thoughts don't count
Your actions ain't the right amount
God sees what you do
cause your life has an impact too
