Late last year I began posting midweek the works of other authors. Today, I'd like to share the work of a singer/ songwriter and teacher who, in his short time on earth, made quite a lasting impression. In fact, I'm pretty sure if I checked my journal from January 2023, I'd find that this song by Keith Green was how I started my year. My prayer is still the same:
Make my life a prayer to You
I wanna do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers, no compromise
I wanna shine the light You gave
Through Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know
You're really there
Well, I wanna thank Ya now
For being patient with me
Oh, it's so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh, You're coming again
You're coming to take me away
I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope Ya gave to me, the love that set me free
I wanna tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God, the Son, You've risen from the dead
