"Write Your Story"

When I first heard the song "Write Your Story" by Francesca Battistelli, I was reminded of BFA's Spiritual Emphasis Week back in September.  Our guest speaker focused on the exact same topic - that God is the One writing the amazing stories of our lives, stories that are meant to be shared as testimonies of His goodness!

I'm an empty page, I'm an open book

Write Your story on my heart

C'mon and make Your mark

Author of my hope, Maker of the stars

Let me be Your work of art

Won't You write Your story on my heart

The middle school chapel band was thrilled to have the opportunity to perform "Write Your Story"as part of the combined middle/high school closing chapel last week.  Each of the 8th graders had a solo, and the others each had a part to play, too.   (Unfortunately. there were some microphone issues.)  Check out the video below!

I can't help but also post this hilarious video from practice…  Since there are a lot of words in this song, I asked the students to speak the words (in rhythm) to practice diction.  This quickly turned into a rap, which I had to record!  

This is my prayer for our eighth graders, the senior class, departing staff and students, and really all of us: that we would continue to let the Author of our hope write His story on our hearts so that we can be His works of art and live lives that are fully committed to Him!

I want my history to be Your legacy

Go ahead and show this world

What You've done in me

And when the music fades

I want my life to say

I let You write Your story, write Your story
