"THE AUTHOR - IN THE ROOM!" lyrics

[Brandon Lake:]
Picked up the Book for the first time in ages
Still washed me clean with the dust on the pages
My life is a story I struggle to write
Is it one worth telling? Is it one You like?
Mm

So who am I? Who am I?
Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
A troubled child running wild
Chasing the glory instead of the One
Who says that I, even I
Have something still left to offer?
So who am I? Who am I
To question the pen in the hands of the Author?

[Nick Jonas:]
Like every good story, you learn from the loss
And I lost the plot every time I played God
I live in a moment You already wrote
It's proof that I'm someone, yeah, someone You love
Oh

[Brandon Lake & Nick Jonas (Nick Jonas):]
So who am I? Who am I?
Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
A troubled child running wild
Chasing the glory instead of the One
Who says that I, even I
Have something still left to offer?
So who am I? Who am I
To question (the pen in the hands of the Author?)

[Brandon Lake (Nick Jonas):]
I see trauma, I see worthless
You see something You can work with
(I see failure, I see weakness)
(You see something good on paper)

And I've seen ashes turn to beauty
I've felt Heaven working through me
(I've seen panic turn to power)
(Felt Your peace in my darkest hour)

[Brandon Lake & Nick Jonas:]
What grace is this? Called me by name
Forgives me again and again, and again
What grace is this? Crossed out my shame
Forgives me again and again, and again, and again, and again

[Brandon Lake (Nick Jonas) {Both}:]
So {who am I}? God, {who am I}?
(Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?)
{A troubled child}, still {running wild}
(Chasing the glory instead of the One)
{Who says that I, even I}
{Have something still left to offer?}
So {who am I? Who am I}
(To question the pen in the hands of the Author?)

[Nick Jonas {Brandon Lake}:]
I'm ink in the pen in the hands of the Author {ooh}
{I'm ink in the pen in the hands of the Author}
{I'm ink in the pen in the hands of the Author}
{Y'all give it up one more time}
{For my brother} (Thank you so much)
{Jonas Brother, Nick Jonas}
I love y'all, thank you
