I wrote this song once. I called it “what we’ll see”. Basically I wrote it at a time when I wasn’t sure which way God was directing me in a very specific relationship. It was a time of unknown and I wrote this song as a cry for guidance and truth.
Here are the lyrics:
Written in Seattle, WA Feburary 19th 2008
What We’ll See
Rainbow placed in the sky
High enough to catch my eye
Losing it’s colors through the darkening sky
Oceans I have not seen
Waves hiding where I’ve been
Losing my footprints through the high tide
Take it away
High, high tide away
Day by day I’ve lost my sight
Forgetting to live my life
Always looking for a better day
A spoken word and I’m redeemed
Promises are guaranteed
Holding my breath, I anticipate
What we’ll see
What do you see?
I look into your light and push away all the lies
Won’t you tell me, what do you see?
What do you see?
Oh, you’re blinding me blinding me
Tell me what we’ll be
What we’ll be
A year and I’ll forget to sing
Having passed through all my dreams
Holding your hand I’ll have known to wait
When I wrote this song I was convicted about something. That I was looking towards the end instead of focusing on the present. I longed so much to know what God wanted of me, that I forgot to remember why I was serving Him. This song embodies so many of my emotions now. I long to “look into the light, and push away all the lies”. Why does God sometimes not reveal His plan right away? Why must we bleed before He sutures?
But then who am I to complain about bleeding? Was it not Jesus who gave all of His life blood so we could have life?
Life passes by so fast. I just got done with my year with CTI Music Ministries. It seriously was like a footprint in the sand, or a rainbow fading in the sky.
I’m taking some time this week to just quiet myself before my God. And listen. No fear of the outcome. Just listen. I am willing to put in the preparation for what God desires for my life. Or is it preparation?
Maybe us human beings are so preoccupied by “arriving” that we miss the point. Preparation? Or simply resting with our Savior?
I hope I never forget to sing. I never want to wake up one morning realizing I walked right through my dreams and didn’t give God the glory for every moment. Holding His hands I’ll know to wait…
