Mouthpiece - 7/17/12

My heart starts to pound
I feel a rush of heat
Sitting in the pews
Testimony meeting

You're calling me
There's something you
Want me to say
At the podium this Sunday

I can feel
The Spirit speaking
To mine
A voice so divine

Your words pour
Into my mind
I listen carefully
To understand

I sit and wait
For my time
I get nervous
Try to keep calm

I rise and walk up there
Standing in front of the mic
Staring straight ahead
My mind goes blank

There's a pause
As they wait for me to speak
I start to shake
Look down at the red light

I wish I had
Remembered what you said
I stumble my way along
Trying to get the message across

I end and
Rush to my seat
You're words come back
With what I should've said

You assure me
I did fine
That in my own way
I brought the message

I wish I could speak
As eloquently
As beautifully
As you do

Or that I had
Time to prepare
I write better
Than I speak

I'm reminded
That its the
Simple and mild
Meek and humble

That its the
Ordinary and faithful
That you choose
For your work

Although I may
Stumble and fumble
Ramble and pause
My way along

I'm thankful
For when you choose
To use me
As a mouthpiece
