I WILL BE WITH YOU

VERSE 1 I said, "What's Your name?" He said, "I AM who I AM." I said, "They won't believe me." He said, "What's in your hand?" Four decades of excuses Made a new life away. The bush didn't burn out. Now here I can't stay. CHORUS So I'm out of reasons. I'm out of ways to say no. Every door I've been closing, He keeps opening it wide. I'm not ready. I'm not able. God's doing something inside. And He says, and He says, "I will be with you." "I will be with you." VERSE 2 I said, "I'm not a speaker. I have never been fast. I don't know what to do." Will not be able to last. I said, "Send somebody else." And that's when He burned, Called me to be a leader To a spot I didn't earn. CHORUS So I'm out of reasons. I'm out of ways to say no. Every door I've been closing, He keeps opening it wide. I'm not ready. I'm not able. God's doing something inside. And He says, and He says, "I will be with you." "I will be with you." BRIDGE 1 Forty years in a palace. Forty years in the sand. Nothing wasted. Nothing lost. He was building the man. BRIDGE 2 So take the staff in my hand. It's the only thing I've got. A stick and a stutter And God calling the shots. Not because I'm ready. Not because I deserve. Just because He's with me, And it is Him who I serve. FINAL CHORUS So I'm out of reasons. I'm out of ways to say no. Every door I've been closing, He keeps opening it wide. I'm not ready. I'm not able. God's doing something inside. And He says, and He says, "I will be with you." "I will be with you." "I will be with you."
