The Author — Brandon Lake, Nick Jonas
Intro
My life is a story
I struggle to write
Wondering if it matters
Or if anyone even cares to read it
Verse 1
Who am I?
Just a preacher’s prodigal son
A troubled child running wild
Chasing glory instead of truth
Still asking myself
If there’s anything left in me
Anything worth offering
Pre-Chorus
So who am I
To question the pen
In the hands of the author?
Verse 2
Like every good story
There are lessons in loss
But every time I tried to play God
I lost my way
Yet somehow
There’s proof I am loved
Even through the brokenness
Chorus
Who am I?
A wounded soul still searching
Still running
Still learning grace
But even I
Have something left to offer
Because the author
Has not finished writing me
Bridge
I see trauma
I see weakness
I see failure
But You see potential
You see purpose
You see beauty in ashes
I’ve watched fear become strength
And panic become peace
Even in my darkest hours
Worship Section
What grace is this
To call me by name
Again and again and again
What grace is this
To erase my shame
And forgive me
Again and again and again
Final Chorus
Who am I?
Still a troubled child
Still learning
Still chasing meaning
But now I know
There is still something left in me
Because I am only ink and pen
In the hands of the author
Outro
I’m ink and pen
In the hands of the author.
