Bigger than me

Bigger than me

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

Bigger than me

It�s so much bigger than me;
This life that I�m performing.
It�s bigger than what you see.
So what, if I�m conforming.
I�m following in God�s lead,
The one I was ignoring.
He�s planted in me His seed,
So now I�m done exploring.

I have found my path
And I have found my way
I have found the light
To brighten up my day.
I have found the grace
And I have found forgiveness.
I have found my place
And I don�t want to end this.

It�s so much bigger than me;
This life that I�m performing.
It�s bigger than what you see.
So what, if I�m conforming.
I�m following in God�s lead,
The one I was ignoring.
He�s planted in me His seed,
So now I�m done exploring.

The winding road that was my past,
I knew that it could never last.
Leading nowhere, going fast.
When all I had to do was ask,
�Jesus come into my soul.
Fill the gaps and make me whole.
Sit me at the Lords right hand
So that I will understand�.

It�s so much bigger than me;
This life that I�m performing.
It�s bigger than what you see.
So what, if I�m conforming.
I�m following in God�s lead,
The one I was ignoring.
He�s planted in me His seed,
So now I�m done exploring.

It�s so much bigger than me.

M.J.S.

Oh I really love the message of this song and such a flow to the words as well. I especially loved the first stanza and how it set the tone for the whole piece. Great job here :)
