When The Curtains Close

Who will I be when the lights go down
When the crowd is no more

Who will i be when the stage is clear
When I'm behind closed doors

Who will I be when the music fades
When the fire loses its brilliance

Who will I be when my faith is tested
When my heart faces resilliance

Will I stand will I fight
Will I run to win

Will I buckle will I crumble
Will I compromise again

The truth is, it's all so easy
To conform to the familiar, the average, the pleasing
God give me strength to break the mold
To write my own story and a story untold

Of someone who took a risk to kill the norm
Of someone who helped the hopeless through the storm

Taking on a life of integrity, service, and love
Entertaining angels from heaven high above

Needing you each day to bring strength to this heart
Thanking you for joy that comes with each start

My life is a song to you whom i sing
Composing in rythm with the everlasting King

My life a glass house for all to know
I will be that same man when the curtains close
