After my operation not even a gynecologist will be able to detect anything out of the ordinary about my body.
I will be a woman.
Don't you find it odd that plastic surgery can cure a mental disorder?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Various's song "I Will Sing" speak to the power of following Christ, despite the challenges and obstacles that may arise. The opening lines refer to the twelve disciples, who walked on the earth with Jesus Christ himself. The Father, presumably meaning God, was a brother to them all. The teachings they received were the Living Word, which refers to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The wonders and miracles they saw were the evidence of the immense power of Christ, and the lyrics paint a picture of awe and inspiration mixed with confusion and doubt.

The second verse acknowledges the difficulty that the disciples faced when Jesus had to leave them. It must have been challenging for them to believe in Christ's plan when they felt so alone and without direction. However, the lyrics acknowledge the strength and perseverance that they showed in the face of persecution. The chorus of the song calls the listener to follow Christ and to run the race, fighting the good fight and standing on their faith. It's a declaration of dedication to Jesus and a willingness to give all that they have to follow him.

The third verse speaks directly to the listener. It suggests that they needn't look across the ages to find Jesus; rather, his voice is speaking in their heart today. His word is like a flame, consuming all their shame, offering guidance and support. The verse also suggests that the listener has the power to become the person that Jesus wants them to be, living like someone whose heart belongs to him. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, with the addition of the line "I'm gonna follow you, my Lord." It's a simple yet powerful assertion of faith and devotion.

"I Will Sing"

When I wander in my doubt
I'm held within Your mystery
You reveal a love so faithful
Hope unending I believe

You're the risen Son of God
You're the light that breaks the dark
Your love has rescued me
Forever I will sing
You're the Savior of my soul
You're the name above it all
Your grace alive in me
Forever I will sing

Oh the wonder of the cross
The Father's heart revealed to me
Unrelenting, never changing
All consuming, I am free

You're the risen Son of God
You're the light that breaks the dark
Your love has rescued me
Forever I will sing
You're the Savior of my soul
You're the name above it all
Your grace alive in me
Forever I will sing

I am not ashamed of the cross that made a way
The only name that saves is Jesus
