Lyrics
The story of me was a story of shame
Wrong turns written on every page
So many parts that were so messed up
But I love part where you showed up
re-writing my past, re-writing my hurt
Line by line word by word
And now my story is living proof
There’s not a chapter that you can’t use
My story, your glory
My pain, your purpose
My mess, your message
In all things I know you’re working
One life, one mission
One reason why I’m living
All for you, not for me
My story, your glory
Now the story of me is a story of grace
Fingerprints of mercy on every page
No more ashamed of the path I took
You set me free to be an open book
Cause even my scars are part of your plan
Take all of my heart Lord here I am
My only cause till you call me home
Is knowing you more and making you known
My story, your glory
My pain, your purpose
My mess, your message
In all things I know you’re working
One life, one mission
One reason why I’m living
All for you, not for me
My story, your glory
All of me, all for you
Let all I say and all I do
Point to the one
Who changed my life
Let this be the legacy I leave behind
My story, your glory
My pain, your purpose
My mess, your message
In all things I know you’re working
One life, one mission
One reason why I’m living
All for you, not for me
My story, your glory

About This Song
"A couple of years ago I started a podcast and I have special guests on. We share the power of story and are reminded that God is at work in the stories of all of our lives. Even the broken chapters of our stories, God can use to heal and redeem them and he can make the world come to know him through the cracks and broken chapters of our story. At the end of every podcast episode, I found myself saying, 'I'll see you next week, but remember, it's your story for his glory.' So much of my career in music ministry has been surrounded by telling the stories of peoples' lives. This song feels like a full circle moment for me. It's my anthem and mission in life. I hope this song inspires you to remember your mission here on earth. You get one life and it's your story for his glory." -Matthew West
