A fabulous song of fatih

My secular blog, Musings in Search of a Muse, usually catches all my writings about music, but the song "Fake" from Joy Whitlock sticks in my head as a fabulous piece of music and a deeply thoughtful prayer. Consider these lyrics and how they apply to all Christians, no matter how strong their faith or how new they are to God's Word.

Come to me,
That I may live,
I've scattered into pieces,
Will you gather them,
I've put my hope in your word,
I've got nothing left to give of any worth,
Make me real.

I don't wanna be a fake,
I don't wanna be a phony,
What lies behind this face,
So close so far away.

Oh weak knees,
Why can't you stand,
Why do I feel so stupid,
Always giving in,
I curse your name forsake your love,
As if those splinters in your back wasn't enough,
What have I done.

I don't wanna be a fake,
I don't wanna be a phony,
What lies behind this face,
So close so far away.

But He's a light unto my path,
And a lamp unto my feet,
For these I don't have to ask,
For thou art with me.

Shattered dreams,
And wasted years,
Silent screams,
And nameless fears,
I've put my hope in your word,
This world's got nothing left to give of any worth,
Make me real.

I don't wanna be a fake,
I don't wanna be a phony,
What lies behind this face,
So close so far away.

But He's a light unto my path,
And a lamp unto my feet,
For these I don't have to ask,
For thou art with me.

My thoughts, precisely, Joy. Thank you for expressing them so artfully. Our Father has blessed you and I pray that he continues to do so.
