Year: 2023

Why am I like I am?

I don’t need the spotlight,
’cause I already got light —
so I’ll just play the background,
instead of playing the clown.

It isn’t that I don’t care,
but I don’t need them all to stare.
I know who I am inside,
and that isn’t someone that I need to hide.

So if you let me sing His name,
you’ll find for me it isn’t some game.
And if you find me up in front of a crowd,
preaching hard and singing loud —
it’s a fire and I can’t hold it in,
so grab your seats and invite a friend.

Cause I don’t have to preach you into hell,
most do that on our own pretty well.
I just have to welcome you in,
because He really is a great friend.

I know you’ve seen a lot of bad religion,
of hate and judgement and men who love power —
but do you know mercy and humility and forgiveness
that makes even the proudest men cower?

I love you friend,
and I once shared your doubts —
I’ve looked all over this world
and we all only have one way out.

It won’t be your money or pleasure that you prize at a last breath,
so why prize it now on your way towards your death?

Listen and hear, open up your ears,
lay down your pride, and let your hearts fear —
that this life can be wasted,
this life can fall short.

What will you have at the end of it all?
Have you felt the tug, have you heard the call?

When is your time…

… don’t wait.

Get your heart and your direction right my friend. And help me keep mine right too.

Love you. Thank you Jesus!
