Hey all and God bless you all.
For many years, I was an active musician playing piano, drums and writing lyrics for my old band, "The Remaining Few".
I find myself writing again and want to share not only my old work but also the new stuff as I feel the words are directly from God.
This song was recently written during a rather tough time in my life where I was super-self-centered and I wrote this based on desiring my perspective.

"You"

Verse 1:

Today, You're my desire
You're all I want
I want to feel Your Presence
To know all You are
These words flow superbly
Because it's from You that they exist
The zero no longer exists
Instead a hero persists
To glorify Your name
Make me Your hero
For my existence
Is a representation
Of You!
A mirror of Your perfect plan
The expansive universe pales
in comparison to the Creator

Chorus:

May Your glory pour out
Like rain over my head
May I shine like the sun
So when people gaze on me
They see you
"He's different. What's changed?"
Those thoughts will permeate most
In Christ and Christ alone!
Verse 2:
Teach me Your ways
Remove me from this boring existence
And envelop me in Your Presence
Show me Your passion
Show me how to be the best husband
Best Father
The Best Man You meant me to be
Take me off my road of ruin
You know what to do in
this perilous journey
Place me in Your army
Prepare me for the war
Every scar is a badge of honor
After all, If I'm the clay in the potters hands
You will smooth them out
