I think I know what you mean (her face brightens). I hear it sometimes. (Her face becomes more somber and she sighs) But there are lots of voices speaking inside me now, (Pauses) my friends, my parents, my teachers. They never stop. It’s like the universe, so big you can’t focus on what’s important. It makes me want to close my eyes and put my hands over my ears (she acts this out). Maybe God should save His breath.

(She walks to downstage center. The lights go down with only a spotlight on Meagan).

Meagan: (Talking to herself) Cliff’s right, I think. Maybe I just need to try harder. To reach out and listen for God. (Closes her eyes. There is a period of silence. Then she looks up as if she’s speaking to God). God, I’m so messed up. You’re reaching out for me, aren’t you? You love me, don’t you? But why? Why me?

Why do You love me, why do You care, When I was lost and lonely, You found me there, Oh, You who knew the cross Lord, You who saved us all, oh why do You love me, so sinful and so small?

Why do You want me, why do You try, I fear so many things Lord, I fear I’ll die, Oh, You who knew the cross Lord, You who saved us all, oh why do You want me, so sinful and so small?

Use Your grace on more deserving ones than I, I’m not worth it Lord why don’t You pass me by, oh why, oh why?

Why do You need me what can I do, I have no things of value, to offer You, Oh, You who knew the cross Lord, You who saved us all, oh why to You need me, so sinful and so small?

You see I’m weak while those around me are so strong. Give Your love to them why can’t You see I’m wrong. Use Your grace on more deserving ones than I, I’m not worth it Lord why don’t You pass me by, oh why, oh why, oh why? (Repeat)
