Story behind the song
I wrote this song in 2002 for my mostly finished but not released album "Treasure in the Pain." It is basically based on my desire that God would "speak through me" in spite of the fact that my thoughts are all over the place. I still have that same prayer! It is by God's grace that He uses me in spite of myself.
Lyrics
Speak Through Me © 2002 Marla Reid
A million thoughts are racing through my head
Most of which are just better left unsaid
Sometimes I speak them anyway
But I can’t erase the words I say
Is it that I’m human? Is it apathy?
Is it that I care less about you than about me?
Will I make excuses and live selfishly?
Or let His love, let His love, let His love speak through me?
I’m so glad that you can’t read my mind
Cause I’m ashamed of the thoughts that you would find
Why can’t I think about what’s good?
And love others like I know I should
Loving peoples something I can’t do
Unless God helps me to
I just can’t do it on my own
Without Him I’m just cold as stone
Cause God is love God is good
He’ll help me love you like I know I should
