Lyrics
I don't know what to say
I'm at a loss for words.
That hasn't already been said
Everything worth saying has already been expressed.
I don't know what to write
I'm unsure of what to write.
That hasn't already been read
Everything worth writing has already been read.
I don't know what to play
I don't know what music to create.
That You haven't already heard
You've already heard every melody.
So here's my song, You write the words
This is my song, but I'm leaving the lyrics to you.
Here's my heart, you write the words
I'm offering my heart, let your words fill it.
"Amazing Grace" has already been written
"Amazing Grace" has already been composed.
"Jesus Saves" has been done before
"Jesus Saves" has been proclaimed before.
And the " Hallelujah Chorus"
The renowned "Hallelujah Chorus" has been sung countless times.
Has been sung a million times or more
Repeated expressions lose their impact.
So who am I to make any difference
Questioning the impact of personal contribution.
Tell me why I pour out my heart
Wondering why emotions are poured out when words seem inadequate.
And I struggle for the words
Struggling to articulate feelings.
That I know might not go very far
Acknowledging the limitations of personal expression.
There are days when I sing for the masses
Public recognition but questioning its reach.
When my songs get repeated back to me by thousands
Validation through mass repetition.
And there are days when i know
Acknowledging the days of solitude and limited acknowledgment.
That the only one who hears me is You
Recognizing the solitary audience of the divine.
So what do i do- when
Contemplating the next steps in creative expression.
I don't know what to say
Reiterating the challenge of finding unique words.
That hasn't already been said
Facing the dilemma of expressing the familiar.
I don't know what to write
Encountering difficulty in finding original words.
That hasn't already been read
Struggling with the repetitiveness of written thoughts.
I don't know what to play
Uncertain about creating new music for you.
That You haven't already heard
You've heard every note I could play.
So here's my song, You write the words
Offering a song with an invitation for divine inspiration.
Here's my heart, you write the words
Presenting a heart ready to be filled with your words.
