What if I'm 15?

Now, this song is from 2004 and I think that may have been around the time I heard it.
It is sung by Greg Long who has some solo work out there under his name, but at the time he was also singing with Avalon. I'm not sure where things stand now, but I never forgot the song.

I had searched for it on the internet, looked for it on the various media methods and never found it for years until now.

This song, it's very heart speaks volumes to me in so many ways.

Fifteen Lyrics

Greg Long

I was sitting at the table
As the waitress took our order
In her eyes I knew that something wasn't right
And before I saw it coming
I was caught up in her story
Of the storms that she had weathered in her life
My friend said can we pray for you
She said I think I'd like you to
She walked away, we bowed our heads
But then he turned to me and said

If it takes fifteen times
To hear about Jesus
For someone to believe
Wherever I stand in line
I've got to make a difference
In case it comes down to me
'Cause, I may be the third, may be the seventh
There may be years in between
But what if I'm fifteen
What if I'm fifteen

Just a chapter in a story
With the ending still unwritten
Do they find the truth of Jesus after all As I listen for the whispers
And I follow where they lead me
I pray that I'll be faithful to the call
If I'm who I'm supposed to be
I know that God can work through me
I may not understand it now
But I believe somehow

If it takes fifteen times
To hear about Jesus
For someone to believe
Wherever I stand in line
I've got to make a difference
In case it comes down to me
'Cause I may be the third, may be the seventh
There may be years in between
But what if I'm fifteen
What if I'm fifteen

God I don't want to miss the chances
When you open the door
What may seem so insignificant
You see so much more

If it takes fifteen times
To hear about Jesus
For someone to believe
Wherever I stand in line
I've got to make a difference
In case it comes down to me
'Cause I may be the third, may be the seventh
There may be years in between
But what if I'm fifteen
What if I'm fifteen

First off, it reminds us about being witnesses for Jesus first and foremost.
"I've got to make a difference, In case it comes down to me"

Secondly, it reignites my compassion for the lost. It reminds me of how great a love our Savior has for us and how compelling it is when someone truly comes to repentance and Faith in Him.

Thirdly, and to me most importantly, it tells me that someone coming to Faith in Christ isn't always a one time deal.
A lot of times with witnessing, I think about results. I think that someone will magically and suddenly repent from their sins at that point and turn to Christ immediately. Well, that is what they should do and what you hope for, but that's not always real life. Just as this song states, it may take many many times for someone to hear about Jesus before their hearts are truly changed.

I think about what point in line I may have been for people, did I do my part?
What point in line may I be for others to come?
Will I be Faithful? Will I turn them to Christ or turn them away?
What number in line may you be?
What number in line might someone else be for those who I'm praying for to come to know Christ and what will they do with the opportunity afforded to them?
