Inside Out Virginia Salter I hear songs that remind me of the day You called my name Since that time, that time You saved me I shall never be the same. Songs that say, Not on the outside is the change You've made in me, but within this vessel living is the One Who set me free. Inside out, inside out, He teaches me day after day To let the world see Him working As I walk more inside out. Lord, I pray this day a blessing will be seen increasingly As I follow on the pathway that You’ve made and given me. A path of love and deep devotion causing man to praise and shout! Because he sees You in me living as I walk more inside out. Inside out, inside out, He teaches me, day after day, To let the world see Him working As I walk more inside out. Inside out, inside out, He teaches me day after day To let the world see Him working, (ritard  As I walk more inside out. 1990 |

Uh, thanks, Dream Seeker. Um did you put the smiley face in my poem? I haven't learned how to do those yet, so I didn't, that I know of. ritard is a musical term meaning to go more slowly I hope people don't get the wrong idea about the word and think it's retard misspelled. Virginia |

Beki, Where did you hear it before? I wrote it in 1990. I'm really curious. I entered it in a song contest but nothing ever came of it, to my knowledge. Did you see it on another poetry site? Which one? |

HI VAS Christian Artist David Meece released an album in 1993 called Once IN A Lifetime whose first track is titled Inside Out but I am sure it is a coincidence, the lyrics have the same idea but are different. [This message has been edited by Beki (edited 11-27-2000).] |
