The closing song of the book. Its three verses follow the book’s three rooms: the academy, the clinic, and the pulpit. The book is coming soon.
I Will Answer
Verse 1The page came quick, the lines were clean,
The sources stood in tidy rows;
But I must face the ones who ask,
And tell them only what I know.
ChorusLet me answer for my name,
For every word I sign;
The machine can give an answer,
But the answering is mine.
Lord, I will stand and give account
Of all I've said and done;
Let me answer here with honest heart,
Before I answer to the One.
Verse 2The note was written while I slept,
The chart was full before I came;
But she is not a page to sign,
She is a life who bears a name.
ChorusLet me answer for my name,
For every word I sign;
The machine can give an answer,
But the answering is mine.
Lord, I will stand and give account
Of all I've said and done;
Let me answer here with honest heart,
Before I answer to the One.
Verse 3The sermon came in polished lines,
It sounded like faith, it sounded sincere;
But let the Word pass through my heart
Before it reaches those who hear.
ChorusLet me answer for my name,
For every word I sign;
The machine can give an answer,
But the answering is mine.
Lord, I will stand and give account
Of all I've said and done;
Let me answer here with honest heart,
Before I answer to the One.
BridgeI will tell them what the tool has done,
I will check each line I did not write;
I will sit beside the one who grieves,
And stand to answer in the light.
ChorusLet me answer for my name,
For every word I sign;
The machine can give an answer,
But the answering is mine.
Lord, I will stand and give account
Of all I've said and done;
Let me answer here with honest heart,
Before I answer to the One.
OutroThe machine has many answers, Lord;
Let me answer, and answer well.
