The Singer
by Kelly Nelon Thompson

Album: Her Father's Child

What'Ya want to do tonight, Lord?
What'Ya got in mind for me?
We can work on a tune together
And sing a new harmony
You know, You've given all Your music
To a child that won't refuse it
I know You gave me all the songs I'd ever need

Now I know there are a lot of singers
A lot of people writin' rhyme
There's a lot of real good players
Composers keepin' time
And I'm just another singer
But Your music will always linger
Linger with Your praises deep within my mind

You're the light
You're the spotlight on the singer
You're the light
You're the glory in this song
So tonight I give back to You a singer
For the light that has warmed me for so long
Lord, I'll sing for You, featuring You
Just as long, just as long as there's a song

I've never known another poet
Who's the author and the minstrel too
One who'll lay all the scores before me
With the lyrics created too
As conductor, You go before us
Like the verses before a chorus
You're the only music maker here in me

You're the light
You're the spotlight on the singer
You're the light
You're the glory in this song
So tonight I give back to You a singer
For the light that has warmed me for so long
Lord, I'll sing for You, featuring You
Just as long, just as long as there's a song

You're the light
You're the spotlight on the singer
You're the light
You're the glory in this song
So tonight I give back to You a singer
For the light that has warmed me for so long
Lord, I'll sing for You, featuring You
Just as long, as long as there's a song
