speak for me.

As much as we like to believe we have our own voice, where does our voice come from?  We do not live in a vacuum, so the influence of others is seen even in our own unique longing to communicate what we feel as individuals.  We rely on others to communicate for us.  Someone has to speak for me.  I cannot fully describe that which is in my heart.  As much as I would try, I seem to fail to convey that which is most important for me to express.  What is so wrong about relying on another to point to the truth we wish to speak?  If you were going to try and communicate what sin was, why would you leave out the distinct voice of David from Psalm 51?    I am thankful that there are others that God can use who are much more creative than myself to express great eternal truths that come from an individual, but speaks for a community.  Our voices are important but they are never just for us.  We need to perhaps speak for someone else who is not able to say what they wish to say.  We need to show others what we can be, play songs others can sings, and speak for those in need of a voice.

Well they're celebrating broken thingsI don't want a world of broken thingsYou can tell that something isn't rightWhen all your heroes are in black and white
What a drag to sayAt least I still have yesterday
Show me something I can beAnd play a song that I can singMake me feel as I am freeSomeone come speak for me
