WHO AM I?

Hello peoples!!!

Long time, no type, I know. I apologize for it personally, it won't happen again! Today, I would like to share a song with you, going along with this month's theme of music. This Monday, I'm teaching Bible study. The theme for this year's Bible studies are "Identity Crisis: Who Am I?" My Bible study is entitled, I'm More Than You Say I Am. So I decided, today I will post the lyrics of da T.R.U.T.H.'s song featuring Tye Tribbett "Who Am I?" If you like it, please go to youtube.com and listen to some more of his songs. Read and meditate on these lyrics for now:

If the bible was re-written and the writers put me in it

I wonder how my life would read?
Would the people that have heard of me, read just to learn of me
be turned away by what they see?
Or would they slump in their sofas blown away and sobered by my life...
didn't come to believe
Or would they do a once over read the pages of my life, and once it's over,
close the book and say that's not how I want to be!
Be!
And that's a sad commentary when I'm buried under the public to see
But I pray they remember me for walking in integrity
being what God called me to be.
And if I leave an impression man I hope that I impress them
with a life that was clean and free
And I pray that it's not embarrassing
when they read my narrative once I finally do leave.
Let's Go!

Who am I?
Am I more like Cain full of hatred to my brother to slain?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Jezebel sexual in all my ways?
(Think about it)
Who am I?
Or am I more like Mary pure and holy 'till I lay in the grave?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Abel, able to please God with my ways?
(Think about it)


If the book was re-written and the writers put me in it
what would they say about my private life?
Would they say that my commitment to the ministry was strong
but that I never spend time with my wife?
What would they say about my character?
Would they say that I was arrogant, an American full of myself?
How would they write about my parenting?
Would they say while traveling, I put my children up on the shelf?
Would it be positive or negative if everything I ever did
was charted down and read by all?
Not only the stuff you could see on the surface
but the stuff that was done in the dark?
Well if the boys could talk when the doors was locked
would they say that I was off the chain
Or would it be the complete opposite
would they say that my public and private life were all the same?


Who am I?
Am I more like Cain full of hatred to my brother to slain?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Jezebel sexual in all my ways?
(Think about it)
Who am I?
Or am I more like Mary pure and holy 'till I lay in the grave?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Abel, able to please God with my ways?
(Think about it)


If the book was re-written and the writers put me in
who would they say that I resemble the most?
Would it be Joseph or Sampson both of 'em handsome
only one of 'em was a symbol of hope.
Or would I be listed among the greats
mentioned among the saints in the hall of fame?
Would I'd have to be stripped of this running the base
a product of my own mistakes?
Now I know it's not possible but if the book was re-written
man I wonder how my life would read.
From 2 years old till my funeral
would I fail or would I succeed?
Cuz when they write my biography
what would they recall about the life and times about the man
it means a lot to me!
Cuz in the story I leave 'em I am either God's leader
or a picture of what not to be.
