All He Says I Am


What if I told you that I dont know what I am That I have yet to create an elaborate five year plan Maybe im confused by what I'm "supposed" to be With all these voices screaming at me from society Maybe I'm disturbed by what these voices say I should do, I should be, and the price that I must pay They day that I am strong, and I can do whatever I please That my body is a tool to get men begging on their knees They say that all decisions are mine to make for free And that whatever I decide affects no one but me They say I need to get the newest car and phone Graduate, get a job, maybe buy a two story home They have so many opinions about what all I should be But then I start to think and I have to disagree When I start to imagine opportunity filled skies Satan seems to creep in and whisper his dark lies He tells me a mistake is the only reason I became A baby in this world, only bringing saddened shame He tells me I'm worthless, a failure, a bad joke I crumble under his weight and on his filthy lies I choke Until the God of Heaven sends a moment of clarity And from the light of His grace I can finally see What I am is what HE says and that is ALL I am He says I am forgiven, loved, and for me He has a plan Better than anything I have ever imagined before And the shedding of His precious Blood has opened up the door To eternal life with the One who made the stars With the One who for you and me has suffered many scars I am the child of thus precious Holy Lamb And now I see I really am All He Says I Am
