great cloud of witnesses

I watch you ride a tidal wave
I watch you ride so effortlessly 
I sit here and flounder
Wondering how I get from here to there

I was on that wave for a time
I was there riding the swell
I was full of the thrill
knowing this was my life

Where did it go?
Why am I left here?
I knew that feeling
Now all I know is confusion

Am I worth saving?
Am I worth using?
Am I worth the rescue?
Am I?

I am surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses
I am surrounded by those who would do what they are called to
I am surrounded by those who are alive with the calling
I am surrounded by those who profess you

God
God I am not worth you
God I am not worth your son
God "I AM"

I see myself to often
I don't see you enough
I rode the wave of emotion and joy
I forgot the source

I equated that wave with something else
I equated that wave with someone else
I held you responsible for the denial of my will
I didn't hold myself responsible for the denial of yours

All my words are dust 
All my dreams are waste
compared to yours 
compared to yours

What is it that you desire
What is it that you hold dear
What is it that you would have for me
What is it "I AM"?
