Is the Brightness Still In Me
The number of my days
The span of my ways
Too many to mention
And too wide to hold
Written on my skin
Is the shape that I'm in
I know I'm not a young man
But neither am I old

Still I gotta wonder
Is the brightness still in me?
Can I hold my own
And sing a simple song?
Oh, I gotta wonder
Is the brightness still in me
As it was when I was young
And first believed?

The light of God within
Forever, grace given
To every sinner broken
Who dares to call God strong
Holy Spirit speak
When my light grows weak
Make me shine like Jesus
And fill me with his song

Still I gotta wonder
Is the brightness still in me?
Can I hold my own
And sing a simple song?
Well, I gotta wonder
Is the brightness still in me
As it was when I was young
And first believed?

And I think I've learned to love
The freedom of the boundary line
Where freedom in the Spirit
Equals peace of mind
Still, there are nights
When I close my eyes
And d wrestle with the powers of hell
But there's just as many
If not more, good mornings
When I wake up laughing
And remember all is well
Still I gotta wonder
Is the brightness still in me?
Can I hold my own
And sing a simple song?
Well, I gotta wonder, wonder, wonder
Is the brightness still in me
As it was when I was young
And first believed?
