I was speaking to you, though I didn't feel you there
But then I heard a whisper, a gentle call flowing like the air
I was created for things, bigger than I could ever dream
With you I never lack anything to sing
Your very presence overwhelms me, lifts me up from the ground
A fire rising in my bones, igniting hope in everyone around
Could it really be that the everlasting is speaking to me
I feel less than David, the shepherd boy, not the king
Yet I hear your voice, and it's calling me
Though I don't deserve it, your love is reaching for me
The least of them all, not the first in line
Yet I was the one who was on your mind
I wanna ask why, but who am I to reply
For in me your spirit powerfully abides
Doubts and fears surround me, try to steal my joy
I'm pressed, and I'm shaken, but I'm never destroyed
In the valley of shadows I will not fear
For you are with me, my compass, my guard and my shield
Could it really be that the everlasting is speaking to me
I feel less than David, the shepherd boy, not the king
Yet I hear your voice, and it's calling me
Though I don't deserve it, your love is reaching for me
The least of them all, not the first in line
Yet I was the one who was on your mind
I wanna ask why, but who am I to reply
For in me your spirit powerfully abides
So I'll rise from the ashes, let your glory ignite
I'm dependent on you, guiding me in the light
You turn my tears into laughter, my sorrow into song
With every breath that I take, I'll keep singing along
The least of them all, not the first in line
Yet I was the one who was on your mind
I wanna ask why, but who am I to reply
For in me your spirit powerfully abides
A shepherd, not a king, your grace is my song
With you by my side, I know I belong
So here I stand, amazed, in this beautiful embrace
With your love as my anchor, I found my rightful place
A shepherd, not a king, forever I will sing
In the heart of your presence, I've been given everything
