Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. -- Hebrews 12:2


I've been thinking a lot about this verse lately.  There are so many great theological implications caught up in it.   However, rather than diving off into some kind of theological discourse or discussion here, I want to share a song I wrote from it yesterday afternoon.

Verse 1

Oh turn the page, a quiet place, write my life

Close the book the Lamb was slain

Words of grace, chapters of faith, all my days

Bought in blood, Oh empty grave

Chorus

Author of the Life I lead

You’re better than the breath I breathe

Higher than the peaks I reach

Brighter than the Lights I see

You’re bigger than the help I need

Stronger than the strength in me

Calmer than calmest peace

You’re louder than the songs I sing

Verse 2

You hold the pen, Oh ink sink in, seal my heart

Write words of light to break my dark

Create in me, the Bride You see, let Love be

A story told for all eternity

Bridge

You wrote me, You made me

I left You, You saved me
