Leading Light

I didn't know what my favorite color was for several years. My favorite anything depended on what the person around me liked best.
I just couldn't find anything that made me happy. I didn't know who I was or where I was going or what I was interested in at all.
But then I slowly started coming around and finding bits and pieces of my identity and holding onto it inside. Then I started letting it show on the outside too.
But sometimes, I still don't remember who I am. I forget that I'm the girl Jesus loves.
So I'm trying to see the light in the midst of the dark and I'm trying to remember who I am. 
Child of all creation don't let the world define you
And if you can't remember who you are
Let these words remind you

On the path of the empty handed
He will speak to the heart of the abandoned

These orphan hearts (Will find a home)
Run to these arms (Be not alone)
Light is leading
Love will find us all
Love will find us all

So hard to feel the fires of home
When all we see is darkness
We forgive but not our own and grasp what's around us

Till the dawn starts to break around you
Let all the stars in the night remind you

These orphan hearts (Will find a home)
Run to these arms (Be not alone)
Light is leading
Love will find us all
