In late 2007 I was invited to be a keynote speaker for the 2008 San Antonio Catholic Youth Conference. The theme: "Transform Us Into Leaders". In short order I wrote this song, based on the Gospel reading that would be used at the closing Mass of the conference, that of the transfiguration of Christ. Since the event was a gathering of Catholic teens, I tried to write it from their perspective... who would believe teens transformed by Christ? I would!
Who would believe what we have seen?
Who would believe what we now know?
With the Father, Son, and the Spirit within,
Set the fire and watch it grow.Transform us, Lord into your love,
A light for the nations together we shine
We can make a difference if given the chance
Transform us Lord our God, transform us Lord our God!There are skeptics who will not believe,
Voices who say it cannot be
We’ll rise above the doubt and fear,
And take a stand so all will seeTransform us, Lord into your love,
A light for the nations together we shine
We can make a difference if given the chance
Transform us Lord our God, transform us Lord our God!We will never have to stand alone
Put your hand in mine
There is no mountain that we cannot climb
If we keep our eyes on Him
Keep our eyes on JesusWhen You want us to be Your hands
(Transform us, Lord!)When You want us to be Your feet
(Transform us, Lord!)When You want us to be Your heart
(Transform us, Lord!)When You want us to be Your voice
(Transform us, Lord!)When You want us to show Your way
(Transform us, Lord!)When You want us to speak Your truth
(Transform us, Lord!)When You want us to live Your life
(Transform us, Lord!)When You want us to change the world
(Transform us, Lord!)Transform us, Lord into your love,
A light for the nations together we shine
We will make a difference when given the chance
Transform us LordTransform us, Lord into your love,
A light for the nations together we shine
We will make a difference when given the chance
Transform us Lord our God, transform us Lord our God!
