Brandon Lake - The Author Lyrics




[ Featuring Nick Jonas ]

Picked up the Book for the first time in ages
+
Still washed me clean with the dust on the pages
+
My life is a story I struggle to write
+
But is it one worth telling? Is it one You like?
+
So who am I? Who am I?
+
Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
+
A troubled child, running wild
+
Chasing the glory instead of the One
+
Who says that I, even I
+
Have something still left to offer?
+
So who am I? Who am I
+
To question the pen in the hands of The Author?
+
Like every good story, you learn from the loss
+
And I lost the plot every time I've played God
+
I live in a moment You already wrote
+
And it proves that I'm someone, yeah, someone You love
+
So who am I? Who am I?
+
Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
+
A troubled child, running wild
+
Chasing the glory instead of the One
+
Who says that I, oh, even I
+
Have something still left to offer?
+
So who am I? Who am I
+
To question the pen in the hands of The Author?
+
I see trauma, I see worthless
+
You see something You can work with
+
I see weakness, I see failure
+
You see something good on paper
+
And I've seen ashes turn to beauty
+
I've felt heaven working through me
+
I've seen panic turn to power
+
Felt Your peace in my darkest hour
+
What grace is this?
+
Called me by name again and again and again and again
+
What grace is this?
+
Crossed out my shame
+
Forgives me again and again and again and again and again
+
So who am I? God, who am I?
+
Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
+
A troubled child, running wild
+
Chasing the glory instead of the One
+
Who says that I, even I
+
Have something still left to offer?
+
Who am I? Who am I
+
To question the pen in the hands of The Author?
+
I'm ink in the pen in the hands of The Author
+
I'm ink in the pen in the hands of The Author
+
I'm ink in the pen in the hands of The Author
