The Great Exaggerator (c)copyright 2007 by Jeff Blessing
David was a little shepherd boy a long, long time ago,
Nobody had any clue just how far that he would go
First he killed a giant with just a sling and a stone,
Next thing we know, David’s sitting on the throne.
You make something out of nothing,
You turn lesser into greater,
You make mountains out of molehills
You’re the Great Exaggerator
When two thousand people came and sat upon a hill
Waiting for the Master to explain to them Your will
You fed them all with just five fish and two meager loaves of bread
You proved to each and everyone You’ll do just what You said
You make something out of nothing,
You turn lesser into greater,
You make mountains out of molehills
You’re the Great Exaggerator
No wonder the faith of a mustard seed can be enough to move a mountain
When we give a thimbleful, You make into a fountain
There are times in this life that I feel so worthless and so small
It seems I can’t do anything, that I’m no use at all
And then I hear Your voice so gentle yet so strong
Reminding me of what it is that I’ve known all along
You make something out of nothing,
You turn lesser into greater,
You make mountains out of molehills
You’re the Great Exaggerator
You made a shepherd into a king
Five fishes into a feast,
If You can make a mountain from a molehill,
What will You make of me?
-------------
BTW, I write my lyrics with a concept of a tune in my head at the time, but I can't write music to save my life...if anyone takes a shine to any of my lyrics and wants to give the music a shot, let me know!
p.s. Not all of my lyrics are religious in nature, but lately they do have religious undertones. I also write just plain poetry, and occasional just plain crap.![Smilie :) :)](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
