I am a musician.
I have sung and written songs
About love and life.
But the lyrics and notes,
The voice and the melody,
The life of this musician-
All and herself, is a noteless sheet.
Yes, I am a musician-
BUT You are The Conductor.
Only You, can make me
Play in complete beauty and serenity
In harmony with Your Composition.
Because I am a musician-
Made for Your symphony.
I am a painter.
I have tried to present art allegories
Of success, joy and peace.
But the colors and hues,
The strokes and the lines,
The life of this painter-
All and herself, is an empty canvas.
Yes, I am a painter-
BUT You are The Supreme Artist.
Wash me, color me, change me,
Erase me, mold me, transform me...
Who am I to resist thy intricacy?
I am but a character
In Your Great Masterpiece.
I am a traveler.
I have searched the end of the world
For nothing but meaning.
Gone from here to there,
North to South, East to West.
Little wisdom with temporal amusement,
Bag unpacked, got lost in dead-ends.
Yes, I am a traveler-
But You are the Guide, the Way!
Tell me, lead me, teach me,
Hold me, embrace me, carry me.
This traveler is still a child within
Tired and searching for home.
Please, bring me Home.
I am a light.
I have tried to illuminate
In the place where I am.
But the world is too big,
Too dark, too scary-
For just a tiny flickering light
To shine steadily.
Yes, I am a light-
But You are the Source.
My living candle, eternal oxygen and heat,
Set me from a spark of love
To burn into a fire!
Not for the gloom, let my light shine!
I am shining for Your Glory.
