Am I just plastic, melted and molded to the day?
Or am I a living, lively stone in The Way?
Are You convenient? It seems You were never meant to be,
for Rome, or Jew, or Scribe or Pharisee.
You changest not, why then should it be,
that one exception, in this world would be me?
Will I go? That is the question of the day.
Will I show, that I trust in what You say?
Will I stand? Like a rock by the sea?
Will I fall? Is that more like me?
Will I give, all that I’m about?
Will I live, to God… sold out?
Will I try, at the risk of trying?
Can I hear the angels crying?
For all the joy, and all the glee, and all the love that saved me, and all the hope and all the glory, and all that is to be.
And all the light, and all the mercy, and all we see, and all we hear, and all You give, and all we have, and all Your goodness everywhere.
Will I go?
Am I rock? Can You count on me?
Am I rock, like You need?
Am I rock?
Would I go?
Am I rock? Am I free?
Am I who I’m supposed to be?
Am I rock?
Will I bring You glory? Or will I bring You shame?
In a life of ease can I strive for Your Holy name?
If I’m worth a sparrow, why do I doubt?
Can I reset me, turn me inside out?
Am I complacent? Is that me in the pew?
Doing so little, of all You’d have me do?
My words so small, to lay on the mercy seat.
Is that enough? Is my exposure complete?
Will I go? That is the question of the day.
Will I show, that I trust in what You say?
Will I stand? Like a rock by the sea?
Will I fall? Is that more like me?
Will I give, all that I’m about?
Will I live, to God… sold out?
Will I dare, at the risk of dying?
Can I hear the angels crying?
For all the lost, and all the pain, and all the answers we don’t have, and all the shadows, and all the meaning, and all that’s hidden underneath.
And all the death and all the dying and all the hungry children crying, and all the darkness and all the fear and all the evil everywhere.
Will I go?
Am I rock? Can You count on me?
Am I rock, like You need?
Am I rock?
Would I go?
Am I rock? Am I free?
Am I who I’m supposed to be?
Am I rock?
Will I go? Will I show? Will I stand? Will I fall? Will I give? Will I live? Will I try? Can I hear?
Will I go? Will I show? Will I stand? Will I fall? Will I give? Will I live? Will I dare? Can I hear?
