Lovely traces
I can sense You in everything
The way that You move me
Takes me far away
I seek no escape
I'm dreaming through Your eyes
I am wandering through Your mind
I'm overtaken by the way that You deliver me
I'm transcended
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here in Heaven
Without You I'm incomplete
It's hopeless
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me
Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in You
Baptize me in Your love
Cause drowning in the thought of You
Floods my soul
I'm taken by the things You do
God, You know
It doesn't matter what I lose
I'm Yours
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me
I am in Your hands
Under Your command
Like a puppet on a string
[Lord you know]
I am willing to
Put my faith in You
So before the world I sing
[Consume me]
You consume me, You consume me
Burning flame, through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me [oh, you know that I surrender]
I am consumed, I'm consumed with You
There's no other way I can fly
It's You and I, You and I
There's no other way I can fly
It's You and I, You and I

Separated I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced
I saw a man with a tat' on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
Jesus saves is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city and he claimed he had a dream
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
(There ain't no disguising the truth,
no I ain't into hiding the truth)
Kamikaze my death it is gain
I've been marked by my maker a peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek (yeah)
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they lable me a Jesus Freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
(no, I ain't in to hidin )
People say I'm strange does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will poeple do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think
What will people think
What will people do
What will people do
I don't really care
What else can I say
There ain't no disguising the truth
Jesus is the way

Malamig ang hangin at pilit na ginugulo ang inayos kong buhok. Mataimtim na nakapikit ang mga mata at nag-iisip ng malalim, sabay hinto ng jeep na aking sinasakyan. Kasunod nito ang mga sigawan at tilian ng iba. Lahat nabigla, lahat tila nataranta, maliban lang sa isa na walang kaemosyon at 'di matarok ang lalim ng iniisip.
Mabilis na nakarating ang sinasakyan sa eskwelahang pinapasukan. "Para!," sabi ko panga. Hindi narinig ng mama kaya inulit ko ito ng malakas. "Para...!," todo na at buong sigawan, halos pumutok ang litid sa aking lalamunan.
Kasabay kong bumaba ang misteryosong taong iyon. “Para bang matagal ko na siyang kakilala.”
Naglakad ako ng matulin patungo sa aking kwartong papasukan. "Late na naman ako, anong floor ba 'yon?"
Sa room habang nag-tuturo ang aking guro ay matama namang nagbabaybay ang aking diwa sa taong iyon. "Siguro maraming problema, mabigat?, 'di n'ya kaya, walang malapitan, walang masabihan, walang matakbuhan, at wala ng pag-asa…?" Biglang natulili ang aking tenga ng sumigaw ang aming guro. "Buwiset,... Quiet!," sabay walk-out.
Tahimik ang lahat. Walang kamatayang katahimikan. Maya-maya, "Yahu...uuu!," ingayan na naman. "Uwian na…!" Unti-unting naubos ang tao, maliban sa akin. Nag-lakad ako sa pasilyo ng nag-iisa patungo sa pinakamataas na palapag ng gusali, sabay ihip ng hangin, malamig, sobrang lamig.
Mula sa aking kinatatayuan, tanaw ko ang misteryosong taong iyon. Batid na may problema talaga at kita sa kanyang mga mata ang namumuong luha na mamaya-maya, marahil, ay babagsak na.
Unti-unti ko s'yang nilapitan. Kasabay ang pag-akyat niya at pag-tayo sa mababang pader ng pasilyo na tila may gagawing kabaha-bahala. Umihip ang hangin, malamig, sobrang lamig. Dahil dito ay napuwing at napapikit ako bigla.
Sa aking pag-mulat ay nakarinig ako ng kaingayan. sobrang ingay. Nakita ko ang mga taong nag-uumpukan, nag-tutumpukan, na para bang may nangyaring 'di kaiga-igaya. Biglang bilis ng pintig ng aking dibdib kasama pa ang kaba at takot sa nangyayari, sabay pilit sulyapan ang tunay na nagngyayari.
Nabigla ako...! Nakita ko ang aking sarili..., duguan..., walang malay..., naubusan ng pag-asa..., walang hininga..., at patay na. Sayang...!
