it's IN me

For prophets, poets, artists, and anyone with a voice that needs to be heard... it IS in you, isn't it.

 

But if I say, “I will not mention him or speak any more in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

         Jeremiah 20:9

it’s IN me

it’s IN me

can’t help it

God gave it

woe be to me if I don't proclaim it

I’ll bang it out on a drum

take away my drumsticks

  I’ll pluck it on a guitar

take away the guitar

  I’ll plunk it on a keyboard

take away the keyboard

  I’ll click it on a keypad

take away the keypad

  I’ll scrawl it out in pen and ink

take away the pen

  I have a voice, I’ll sing it out

stop up my voice

  I’ll dance it out with my feet

trip up my feet

  I’ll make signs with my hands

bind my hands

  it’ll shine in my eyes

shut my eyes

  you can’t shut my soul

so give it up

and let it go

woe be to me if I don't express it

God gave it

can’t help it

it’s IN me

and it's got to come out
