This is another song from Proclaim Lismore Wildfire’s 2025 album, It’s Good to Be Alive.
It was written by Evronia Allan & Eliza Blunn and is a very lovely song by talented young people.
Get all the supporting material including chords and lesson plans at their site. It finds it’s place for personal reflection and in schools. I’m not sure if it would work liturgically – maybe as a reflection where the readings are reflected in the stories mentioned.
I suspect we need to live in the stories of our tradition and this song looks at that from a young person’s optimistic perspective looking forward. That is humbling for a grumpy old man who looks back too much.
VERSE 1
You parted the waters
You made a way through the sea
No longer slaves
Cause You set Israel free
You provided manna as they sleep
And You did it all for me
VERSE 2
You chose a child
In a war where armies flee
He had no armour,
But a giant he did defeat
It was a victory that no King could see
But You did it all for me
CHORUS
Storyteller, You are
You’ve written miracles and victories,
I can’t wait to see what You’ll make of me
Will You write my story too?
VERSE 3
You went to Capernaum
Met a man who was in need
His servant was suffering
And You listened to his plea
You healed him cause faith was the key
And You did it all for me
VERSE 4
You took the disciples
Made your way across the sea
But a storm was raging
And the boat was filled with fear
But Lord, You told the wind to cease
And You did it all for me
And You did it all for me
CHORUS
BRIDGE x2
If I let You hold the pen
If I let you write the words
Then I know You’ll write me in Your glory
If I let You set the scene
If I let You turn the page
Jesus, You’re the author of my story
VERSE 5
You were persecuted
On the hill at Calvary
Tortured and beaten
And they nailed You to a tree
But that didn’t stop Your victory
And You did it all for me
You did it all for me!
CHORUS
OUTRO
Will You write my story too?
Will You write my story too?2025 Proclaim Lismore Wildfire
