i haven't sang this song for quite a while
i haven't listened to it for quite a while too
but today, when we sang it during worship
everything suddenly came back to me
when i was at Believers' Music
i used to love playing this song on my keyboard
even though i was just learning to play the basic chords
i used to love worship leading this song
because whenever i sang it
it came from the bottom of my heart

but why have i changed so much
why have i lost so much passion and faith
someone once told me that
he was very impressed with the faith
that i have in God
sure, it flattered me
but i was just wondering to myself
where has my faith gone?

comparing myself to the girl of my past
maybe there's nothing much to compare
because nothing much has changed on the outside
i'm still happy-go-lucky because i don't want to be sad
i always think of sacrificing self before bothering others
but what has been nagging is the level of passion in me
where's the girl who was leading worship
planning camps, serving my youth ministry
fellowshipping with my friends
and just loving life and loving God

has life become so complex that i am who i am today?
i think the answer is NO.
i've become so stressed and anxious about everything
because i lost some faith
i've given up in certain areas
and this is not the path that i want to take
my future is more than this
and i believe that i'll shine
brighter than the stars
because of His wonderful plan for me

never, ever, give up
always trust in Him
for He has the best
and will always have
the BEST for you!
