Word In My Bones

[Intro] [low vocal register, almost spoken] Candles breathing Pages open We sing what’s written We live what’s spoken [Chorus] You say I am Yours I answer, “Here I am” You say I am loved I move by Your command [Verse 1] You call me child before I ever choose You before I lift a finger You already move through Not what I do first but what You’ve already done identity given before missions are begun If grace is the ground then effort is the road I’m standing on a promise not earning any home So I start in the silence letting truth set the tone “Beloved” in my lungs “before” in every bone [Chorus] [Verse 2] You tell me, “Remember” so I don’t drift to pretend my name came from heaven not from the weight I can lift From “you are forgiven” flows “go and forgive” from “you are set free” comes “free them to live” Indicative first imperative flows river from a spring fruit from a root below If I forget who I am my doing turns to dust but anchored in Your word obedience becomes trust [Chorus] [Bridge] [soft call-and-response] You say I am Yours (So we love our neighbors) You say I am whole (So we bind up fractures) You name us in grace (So we walk in mercy) You rest in our midst (So we work in Your peace) [Chorus]
