"Speak Through Me" asks the Creator to speak through me that I may be a vessel of spirit and do something good and meaningful with my life. "Love's the one thing that we seek." The song never mentions "god" but is clearly about spiritual or divine energy and the desire for connection. This song won 2nd place overall in the USA Songwriting Competition and 1st place in the Gospel category. It is included in my CD "Expecting A Miracle." It is a co-write with Lorraine Ferro and Stephanie Lewis.

Lyrics

Speak Through Me

Must be a million snowflakes
Spiraling by my window tonight
Together they make a blanket
But each one is a masterpiece in its own right
White on white on white

Must be a billion people
Looking for meaning on this earth
Together we tell the story
But each one has a moment to recite his verse
A lifetime to rehearse, a chance to heal the hurt

From the mighty to the meek
Love's the one thing that we seek
So when my turn comes to speak, speak through me
Words can break and words can build
So I pray, let mine be filled
With your wisdom and your will, speak through me

Now that I know what matters
Now that my heart is yours to hold
I realize my prize possessions
Never made me wealthy
They were just fool's gold
Only left me cold and empty in my soul

Chorus

From the mighty to the meek
Love's the one thing that we seek
So when my turn comes to speak, speak through me
I just ask before I die
That I can touch one single life
With compassion as my guide
Speak through me, speak through me
Words can break and words can build
So I pray, let mine be filled
With your wisdom and your will, speak through me
