📖 Biblical Roots - Burning bush: "Who am I that I should go…?" (Ex 3:11) - Slow of speech, humble heart (Ex 4:10–13) - Shattered tablets, breaking for his people (Ex 32) - "Show me Your glory" — the only one who knew God’s face (Ex 33:18–23) - Spoke with God "as one speaks with a friend" (Ex 33:11) - Faithful to the end, yet never crossing the Jordan (Deut 34) 🎼 Full Lyrics & Structure Tempo: 72 BPM | Vibe: Weary but unshaken — shepherd’s heart, leader’s burden, servant’s awe [Verse 1] (soft, breathy, intimate — guitar only) I tended the sheep on the backside of the hill Forty years quiet, forty years still I thought I was forgotten, life passing me by Till the bush caught fire and didn’t die "You are My people," the voice called to me "I have seen their suffering, I have heard their plea" And I trembled and said, "Lord, who am I? I’m slow of tongue, I cannot speak, why have You called me?" [Pre-Chorus] (cello enters deep, low, steady) I am not eloquent, I am not strong I’m just a shepherd where the wild winds blow on But if You go with me, I’ll go where You lead For Your name’s sake, not for my need [Chorus] (rising, reverent, quiet power — voice full of awe) Oh, I have seen the glory pass by I’ve stood on the rock where Your presence hides You placed Your hand over me, Lord, so I could live And I know You are good, infinitely good You are slow to anger, rich in love You forgive, You forgive, You keep Your covenant I am Yours, though I am dust You have called me, and in You I trust [Verse 2] I stood before Pharaoh, rod turned to snake Watched the plagues fall, watched the sea open wide and break I led them out, through the wilderness heat Carried their murmurs, carried their defeat They made a golden calf while I was on the mountain top And I shattered the stone, and I fell down and stopped I pleaded for them — blot my name from Your book If it would save them, Lord, look on them and look [Pre-Chorus] I am not perfect, I’ve stumbled too Struck the rock in anger when I should have trusted You Yet You still speak to me face to face As a friend speaks with friend in this sacred place [Chorus] Oh, I have seen the glory pass by I’ve stood on the rock where Your presence hides You placed Your hand over me, Lord, so I could live And I know You are good, infinitely good You are slow to anger, rich in love You forgive, You forgive, You keep Your covenant I am Yours, though I am dust You have called me, and in You I trust [Bridge] (softest, deeply personal — almost whispered) I climbed Nebo at the end of my days Saw the land You promised, stretching out in praise I didn’t cross over, but it was enough To see Your faithfulness, faithful and tough I served a generation, then I lay down to sleep No one knows my grave, but my soul You keep For I saw Your glory, and that was my reward To have walked with You, my God, my Lord [Outro] (fading, guitar soft, cello final lingering note) As a friend speaks with his friend… I spoke with You… I have seen Your glory… Amen…
