Analysis of C'est La Vie



Our life's wide open
But we stay low key
Nose to the grindstone
No matter who sees
"C'est la vie" -
Whether livin' in the states
Or overseas
We fight the good fight
Goin' hard for the Light
Givin' praise to the One
Who oversees

Amen and let it be
If we perish, I guess we perish
But we stand firm upon His promise -
He'll never leave us embarrassed
No, not one forsaken
The whole world will stand and shake
When the future glory's revealed
The fullness of majesty on display

So, be still
'Cause He's a beast still
So ill...
Been trill...
Evident since ever since
He's A to Z, so we keep it real
And kneel down
To the One who gives life in abundance
Privileged proclaimers of the great commission:

It's already finished.
Mission accomplished.
