"23. And You Know It's Right--David Meece"

Now she was on pins and needles. This playlist, which had sounded autobiographical up to this point, was starting to feel like it was pointed directly at her. Where was he going with this?

When something in the deepest part of you / Is telling you the things you need to do / Something in the very heart of you / Is showing you the things you know are true

You can hear it now / Growing stronger now / Feel it reaching out to grip the heart in you / And you know it's right / And you know that you need Him tonight / And you know you've been running away too long / And you know it's right / And you know that you owe Him your life / 'Cause you know that He's given His life for you

Somewhere deep inside, when you know it's right / There's just no other place for you to run / When something deep inside your very soul and mind / Is begging you to do what must be done

...

And you know you gotta give it up / You gotta give it all / And everything you are / 'Cause everything you want / You know you'll find it all in Him...

It wasn't obvious from the lyrics exactly what this thing was that she needed to do, this thing that was right, but she had a feeling that maybe she knew. She just couldn't quite put it into words. When she thought harder, though, she found a hint. Give it up...give it all...everything you are, because everything you want, you know you'll find it all in Him... Was she clinging too tightly to her earthly identity, to her skin color and all the associations she had learned to attach to it? Was she living below her potential as a child of the Almighty?

One thing was certain: something was moving within her that hadn't moved in a very long time. A hard coating around her heart had cracked and now the plates were shifting. Something seismic was occurring.
