I walked in the shadows,
trying to fit their dreamworld,
hoping it would make sense.
I forgot who You made me to be.
I cut a zigzag trail,
zipping from this scene to that,
led by all the options.
I forgot who You made me to be.
The colors of the world
were gray and gray and grayer
and fading all the time.
I forgot who You made me to be.
But then one day Your light
crept across my slumb’ring soul
like sunshine takes a room.
You awakened me.
The color of the world
shifted to a thousand shades
of breath-taking beauty.
You awakened me.
I found forgotten script—
lost skills, lost passions, lost sense—
that You wrote into me.
You awakened me.
And I find that I’m perfectly happy
when I am who You made me to be.
