When the music fades...all is stripped away...
And I simply come...

Noise. Smells. Lights. Colors.
She couldn't focus on all of them at the same time. Bright lights danced across her blurry vision, a mix of blue, red, white, and orange. Dimly, she smelled something burning and there were screams and shouts among other sounds that made it into her range of hearing. she couldn't move - it was as if she was suspended in came sort of weightless dimension, just barely in touch with the world around her.

Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

"Hailey! Hailey!"
She heard someone calling her name. The voice sounded familiar...
"Miss, please calm down!" Another voice this time, one much deeper. She didn't recognize it. "She's still conscious, she can hear you."
"Hailey! You just got into a car accident! They're taking you to the hospital!"
So she was in a car accident. She barely felt something touching her, lifting her...a cool rush of wind, and a somewhat-antiseptic smell filled her nose.

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required

A strange, rhythmic pounding filled her ears. All other outside noise began to fade as the sound dominated. It took her a moment to figure out that it was her heartbeat. It's steady beating blocked out all other sounds, creating a song of pure beats...before she heard another sound, the sound of gushing water...her blood flowing...

You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart...

A sudden fluctuation in her breathing snapped her mind back into reality. Someone shrieked her name as she dimly felt something warm on her body.
"Hailey!"
"Hurry, hurry! We're losing more blood!"
A silent alarm sounded inside of her, a gentle warning. She knew then...it was close...
And as she looked inside her heart, she found someone staring right back at her, their face hidden from her because of the immense light that radiated from them.
But no matter how she couldn't see their complexion, she knew who it was. Tears built as she felt herself fall down onto her knees.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus

"Patient is losing heartbeat!"
"Move it!"
She disregarded all other noise from the world outside, only bowing down in awe of the being in front of her. The glory, light, greatness, and power overwhelmed her being, soul, and spirit.

I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus...

"It's almost time."

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve...

She looked up as the great, wonderful, soothing, yet powerful and authoritative voice spoke to her. Nodding, she took a moment to reflect on her life as she closed her eyes, remembering her suffering and counting her blessings.

Though I'm weak and poor...all I have is Yours...
Every single breath...

"We're losing her!"
"Hailey!"
The girl was losing breath, losing heartbeat...losing life...

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required

All through her reflections, she gave thanks and praise for every memory, every action, every thought. She begged forgiveness for her wrongs, and her tears spilled down as her soul was poured out.

You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart...

She opened her eyes, finished on relieving her life.
"Lord, take me home."

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus...
