From the recordings Simon's Request and The Twelve

Lyrics

Simon’s Request
Verse 1
Why was I chosen by God – I’m the most arrogant one
I’m all about ‘cause’ and enjoy being the boss
I was zealous and I was lost
Verse 2
Why was I following Christ – Was I caught in a zealous vice
Like a fish in a net, my soul’s captured by Him
Will this last or be soon finished
Chorus 1
Christ saw something within me, which needed to come alive
Christ saw much that was in me, that needed to be crucified
He saw the man I could be. He gave me purpose and a plan to be free
It wasn’t the plan I’d of picked for all man, but man wait til you see!
Verse 3
I was angry at Jesus when He wouldn’t strike out
I was waiting for justice to come be poured out
He spoke in riddles and rhymes seemed to me
Our cause was lost, our king died on that tree
Verse 4
Scared and confused we all gathered around
Clung to each other, our Hope in the ground
Then God appeared to us alive from the dead
Our faith set on fire and zealous again!  Repeat Chorus
Bridge
God has placed something in your own heart
To be used for His Kingdom, you’re set apart
It’s a special part He’s called you to play
What will you answer, He calls you today!
Chorus 2
Christ sees something within you, which needs to come alive
Christ sees much that’s in you that needs to be crucified
He sees the one you can be. He gives you purpose and a plan to be free
It wasn’t the plan I’d of picked for all man, but man wait til you see!
