Where will you be?

Some say they have dreams

sometimes I have thoughts 

you know...

dreams when I'm awake

real as anything 

conviction and fear rising up in me

I want to shout "CHOOSE LIFE!! CHOOSE LIFE!!!" 

every time I think about it

when I think of the little eyes 

the tiny hands 

an incredible urge to jump up and shout

CHOOSE LIFE!! 

justice 

truth

have we no regard for truth? 

have we been that blinded?

who do we follow now who tells us these lies?

and are we content to live in a way that says 

WE ARE GOD 

maybe we like being in charge of our own lives 

I remember wanting to be in charge of my life

I remember wanting to control

I have found that this life is not worth living for me 

I see something more

something so unbelievable and beautiful 

I can hardly tell you 

so sometimes I keep silent  

I watch and wait

for God to do a great work

He has done it in my heart

He will do it again

there is nothing I can do to lose His grace in my life 

I may be silent now 

but one of these days

I feel I may be in the middle of a crowd 

and conviction will rise up in me 

and I will shout 

where will you be?
