    Skillet Bible Study Inspired By The Song "Lucy"

    But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” – Luke 23:40-43

    We all have regrets in life. Whether it’s not reaching out to the stranger we passed on the street today or missing the chance to tell someone we love them, we all know what it’s like to wish we had a do-over.

    Some mistakes we make are small. We forget our keys in the car. We misplace an important paper. And the consequences, though real, are small too. We have to call someone to unlock our car. We spend extra time looking.

    Other mistakes we make in our lives are bigger. So big, in fact, that we can’t seem to forgive ourselves. These mistakes are the ones that cause us to lose sleep, to toss and turn, wishing we had a chance to take it all back and relive that part of our life. “I know I’d do it all different if I had the chance.” If we could change it, we wouldn’t have to live with this guilt.

     Mistakes like these are what “Lucy” is about. A young couple finds themselves pregnant with a child they aren’t ready to have. They end up aborting the child but then live with the guilt and pain that comes with the choice. “I’ve gotta live with the choices I made. And I can’t live with myself today.”

    Even after all we do wrong, when we become murderers, liars, and thieves, there’s still someone who forgives us when we repent. He says, “I love you, and you are mine.” Who would want to claim us, even in our weakness? Even more, who would claim our mistakes as his own, writing his name in blood over each of our sins?

    “But all I got are these roses to give and they can’t help me make amends.” We can’t make up for our wrongs. We can’t give more to cover up the past. It’s only by grace that we are forgiven, only by God that we are made new. We can help the hurt by mending relationships broken by sin and fixing some of the damages, but we can’t undo it. We need a savior. Thankfully, we have one.

    He is Jesus. He loves us and died for us, and because of him we are washed clean. He’s there for us always, no matter what mistakes are in our past. And while we still have to deal with the consequences of our choices, we also know that when we repent, we receive forgiveness. If Jesus has forgiven us, then shouldn’t we learn to forgive ourselves? It doesn’t mean that we are okay with the sin, just that we learn to let go and not let it rule our lives. If we’re so stuck beating ourselves up over the past, how productive are we being in the present? It’s time to make a choice and start over again. Every day is a new opportunity. Don’t waste yours today.

    Lyrics:

    Hey Lucy, I remember your name
    I left a dozen roses on your grave today
    I’m in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away
    I just came to talk for a while
    I got some things I need to say

    Chorus:
    Now that it’s over
    I just wanna hold her
    I’d give up all the world to see that little piece of
    heaven looking back at me

    Now that it’s over
    I just wanna hold her
    I’ve gotta live with the choices I made
    And I can’t live with myself today

    Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday
    They said it’d bring some closure to say your name
    I know I’d do it all different if I had the chance
    But all I got are these roses to give
    And they can’t help me make amends

    Chorus

    Here we are
    Now you’re in my arms
    I never wanted anything so bad
    Here we are
    For a brand new start
    Living the life that we could’ve had

    Me and Lucy walking hand in hand
    Me and Lucy never wanna end
    Just another moment in your eyes
    I’ll see you in another life
    In heaven where we never say goodbye

    Here we are, now you’re in my arms
    Here we are for a brand new start
    Got to live with the choices I’ve made
    And I can’t live with myself today

    Me and Lucy walking hand in hand
    Me and Lucy never wanna end
    Got to live with the choices I’ve made
    And I can’t live with myself today
    Hey Lucy, I remember your name

    Bible Study, Devotional, Lucy, Skillet
