The search for that authentic voice, the call upon my life, freeverse |
Rejected by a shallow world I did not want to win in I searched for answers within my soul Like a faithless man In a dark cave with the lights off I searched for the original me Stumbling around in blindness Without a clue When Jesus saved me God turned the lights on I began to know His grace inside Where all seemed so broken and confused It took a while to work through The fragments of false dreams Rejecting images that were not my own Digging deeper unto the true foundation To find the place where He could speak to me Like a church in the middle of a vast maze I came one day into God's place And in His presence began to sing This was a song I had never heard before And yet with each word my passion grew The music seemed familiar as if it had been always there My song boomed from deep within me It reached to heaven from where it also came Like an echo of the Divine Here and there in the same man Love, Life, and Light burned inside I saw the whole of me in a single moment And at that moment my voice became a prayer To be the man that God revealed to me To be the one that He saw. |
