Mistaken

Great song!

Mistaken by Warren Barfield

I shouldn't have to tell you who I am
Cause who I am should be speaking for itself
Cause if I am who I, I want to be
Then who you see won't even be me
Oh the more and more I disappear
The more and more He becomes clear

CHORUS:
Til everyone I talk to hears His voice
And everything I touch feels the warmth of His hand
Til everyone I meet
Sees Jesus in me
This is all I wanna be
I wanna be mistaken
For Jesus
Oh I wanna be mistaken

Do they only see who we are
When who we are should be pointing them to Christ
Cause we are who He chose to use
To spread the news
Of the way the truth and the life
Oh I want all I am to die
So all He is can come alive

Til everyone I talk to hears His voice
And everything I touch feels the warmth of His hand
Til everyone I meet
Sees Jesus in me
This is all I wanna be
I wanna be mistaken
For Jesus
Oh I wanna be
Oh I need to be mistaken
For You
Lord i wanna be mistaken
Mistaken

BRIDGE:
May He touch with my hands
See through my eyes
May He speak through my lips
Live through my life

I want Him to
I want Him to live

This is what the desire of every Christian's heart should be. One of the speakers here said it like this. "If you ask Jesus into your heart you don't have to live for Him, You DON'T have to live for Him. Just let Him live through you." How much better this life would be if we would give ourselves completely over to Christ. If we would remember that we ourselves are dead, but alive only in Christ. That any persecution we might receive is actually directed at Christ and we don't have to deal with it on our own, but Christ will strengthen us for it. It has been a great week here and it sounds like this group has really been encouraged and challenged in their faith. That's all for now.
