Die Hintergrundgeschichte zum Song: For as long as I can remember, I have been scared to do anything. When I was kid, I continuously made my dad carry me or hold my hand whenever I was scared (so practically all the time). So being told by God that he had a plan for me was both exciting and extremely terrifying, and because of the person I always was, I found myself doubting I was good enough and getting scared that I couldn't do it.
This song that I wrote shares the repeated conversation I have with my Father in heaven. Me telling him that I'm scared or that I don't know how I'm going to complete the journey he's asked me to make. Then Him telling me, with his arms open wide, that he will my guide and that the dreams in my heart that I desire more than anything are the ones he's helping me to fight for. I know a lot of people probably, like me, don't feel confident or doubt their worthiness of God's calling and this song aims to share that God will always guide us on our vocation (no matter how great or small).
Lyrics:
I get scared, I get lost, I don't know what to do or where to start.
It's a world that's unclear and a place that I fear but I pray you'll be there.
And then you come with open arms and tell me you'll find what to do
You say keep fighting for your life and I'll keep showing you
That you can dream what to be and where to go for me
I'll be your strength and your guide through this deep dark sea
I know this plan is scary but you can do it for me
because I gave you the dream that you're going to reach
God you've called out my name to say you'll do something great for me
but I fear and I doubt not knowing who you chose me
And then you come with open arms and tell me you'll find what to do
You say keep fighting for your life and I'll keep showing you
That you can dream what to be and where to go for me
I'll be your strength and your guide through this deep dark sea
I know this plan is scary but you can do it for me
because I gave you the dream that you're going to reach
So here I am, Lord
I come to do your will
Here I am, Lord
be my guide through it all (repeat)
And you say you can dream what to be and where to go for me
I'll be your strength and your guide through this deep dark sea
I know this plan is scary but you can do it for me
because I gave you the dream that you're going to reach (reach)
Despite it being scary and me not feeling keen
I'll fo on fighting till I get that dream that you chose me to reach
