That Was Me

Here is a song I co-wrote today with a friend of mine, Jason Mitchell. He shared for approximately 10 minutes regarding various topics that addressed the question: "What songs is the Church not singing or writing?" It was an inspirational 10 minutes. Afterwards, I was afforded the opportunity to write a song with him. Here are the lyrics:

That Was Me

2011 Ferrari, Michael; Mitchell, Jason

Verse 1

When I didn’t care

about the things I did and if you were there

watching over me to see my despair -

that was me.

But you were there

Watching over me you saw my despair

You saw the things I did when I didn’t care

You cared for me

Verse 2

When I couldn’t see

I was blind to everything I could be

I had a heart inside that couldn’t beat

That was me.

You looked at me

You clearly saw inside that I wasn’t free

You lead me by the hand when I couldn’t see

‘Cause you saw me

Bridge

That was me

A person in the grasp of darkness I couldn’t see

In spite of all that I had done you found me on my knees

That was me

Interlude

Bridge 2

Now this is me

A person with a Savior who has heard my silent plea

A locked up heart that had no hope but you had the key

This is me
