Picked up the Book for the first time in agesStill washed me clean with the dust on the pagesMy life is a story I struggle to writeBut is it one worth telling?Is it one You like?So who am I? Who am I?I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?Troubled child, running wildChasing the glory instead of the OneWho says that I, even I, have something still left to offer?So who am I?Who am I to question the pen in the hands of the Author?Like every good story, you learn from the lossAnd I lost the plot every timeI played GodI live in a moment You already wroteIt's proof that I'm someone, yeah, someone You loveSo who am I? Who am I?I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?A troubled child, running wildChasing the glory instead of the OneWho says that I, oh, even Ihave something still left to offer?So who am I?Who am I to question the penin the hands of the Author?I see trauma, I see worthlessYou see something You can work withI see weakness, I see failureYou see something good on paperAnd I've seen ashes turn to beautyI've felt Heaven working through meI've seen panic turn to powerfelt Your peace in my darkest hourWhat grace is this? Called me by nameagain and again and again and againAnd what grace is this? Crossed out my shameforgives me again and again and again and again and againSo who am I? God, who am I?I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?Troubled child, still running wildChasing the glory instead of the OneWho says that I, even I, have something still left to offer?Oh, who am I?Who am I to question the pen in the hands of the Author?I'm ink in the pen in the hands of the Author, mmI'm ink in the pen in the hands of the AuthorI'm ink in the pen in the hands of the Author
