Author of My Days
Journey of Faith: Embracing the Guiding Hand
Lyrics
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
Expressing the possibility of rising with the dawn, symbolizing hope and renewal.
If I fly out across the sea
Contemplating the idea of traveling across the sea, suggesting a journey or exploration.
If I run 'till I can run no more
Reflecting on running until exhaustion, conveying persistence and endurance.
Even then you will find me
Acknowledging that even in extreme situations, one can still be found or supported.
If I sink to the deepest place
Exploring the possibility of sinking to the deepest place, indicating vulnerability.
If I seek to in the darkness hide
Considering hiding in darkness, symbolizing inner struggles or challenges.
If I lie even to myself
Admitting the potential for self-deception, recognizing personal flaws or shortcomings.
Still your hand will guide me
Assurance that even in self-deception, divine guidance remains constant.
For you hem me in before and behind
Describing a sense of being surrounded or protected both before and behind.
You the author of my days
Acknowledging a higher power as the author or creator of one's existence.
So I come before you arms stretched out
Presenting oneself before the higher power with arms stretched out, a gesture of surrender.
And I give you all my praise
Offering praise to the higher power for their role as the author of one's days.
Search me and know my heart
Inviting introspection and divine understanding of the speaker's heart.
Test me and know my anxious thoughts
Openness to scrutiny, acknowledging and seeking insight into anxious thoughts.
Lead me in your righteous way
Requesting guidance in following a righteous path.
So that I am with you... when I awake
Expressing a desire to be in the presence of the divine upon awakening.
For you hem me in before and behind
Reiteration of feeling surrounded and protected by the higher power.
You the author of my days
Reaffirmation of the higher power as the author of the speaker's existence.
So I come before you arms stretched out
Repeat of presenting oneself before the higher power with arms stretched out.
And I give you all my praise
Repetition of giving praise to the higher power for their role in the speaker's life.
