Open book

Pre Chorus:
If I laid my life down before as an open book
And let you author every word that was written
Would my life be different than if I tried to hide
Some of my darkest secrets from the one who created me

Chorus:
I lay my life as an open book before you
I am asking for you to reveal to me the things I have hidden from you for so long
I want you to take the pen from my hand and I want to let you write your plan
Within the empty pages I need you to tell your story of your faithfulness

Verse 1:
If you gave me every word would I really write it right
Would I tremble with the pen and would it really be what you want
If I gave you the pen and let you write my life, then I would
Have nothing to worry about and I could rest in peace

Verse 2:
I lay before you my life as an empty book waiting for you to write the story
Of what you’ve done in my life, nothing I have written is worth anything in light of what you gave me on the day of salvation
If I gave you the writing quill, would I learn to trust you still or would I take the pen back and try to write my life myself?

Inspired by the song “I know You’re Calling” by Jeremy Camp on the Album “Burden Me”
