Write My Life

Writing blogs, articles, journaling and designing scrapbook pages involve a mysterious creative process. For me, I can be inspired by a word, a photograph, music or any number of experiences.

A title for my blog was not coming instantly into my creative side so I turned to my iTunes. In there, I found an old song by Out of the Grey, circa 1991. (Yikes! Is this song really 15 years old!) As a writer, I’ve always loved this song and its appeal to trusting and watching God’s work in my life…even my creative life. So, this song became the inspiration for my title.

WRITE MY LIFE

I try to write a rhyme
To reveal my feelings inside
I search with every word
To find the perfect line
But just like a little child
I hide behind a clever line
You take the pencil
I’ve been holding much too tight

And I’m watching
You write my life, Lord
I’m seeing Your hand in all I am
I’m watching You write my life
And learning how to trust

I struggle every day
To finish this my own way
Then try to scribble out
The pain of my mistakes
But You take my hand in time
And You paint a simple line
Erasing each mistake
The pages come alive

And I’m watching
You write my life, Lord
I’m seeing Your hand in all I am
I’m watching You write my life
As only You, only You can
Oh I’m watching
You write my life, Lord
And telling the story of Your love
I’m watching You write my life
And learning how to trust
