Recently I was listening to the song Livin' On A Prayer. I have listened to this song multiple times
and the lyrics had not stuck out to me. I would just sing along to them and not think much of it. However now that I am in this class when I was listening to this song certain lyrics stuck out to me:
"Whooaaaaaa! We're half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand- we'll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer"
These stuck out to me because in this class I have learned that "praise is the perfection of worship and, we might add, of prayer." Life becomes one big prayer if we first praise God because "we become detached from ourselves in order to see and use all things in and for God." In these lyrics when he says "we're half way there" he could quite possibly be meaning they are half way to Heaven because they are "livin' on a prayer" and once life (prayer) is over they will go to Heaven.
