Not My Will, But Yours Be Done - Oregon 2000
Lord, I've tried to plow my way
through life
I set a goal & strived with
all that I am to reach it
But now I know
it was all in strife
You know the path,
you know the will
What I thought was right,
was me instead
Why didn't I just calm down
and be still
You blessed me greatly
even on my own path
I received many awards,
ribbons & grades
I tried really hard
to take credit for that
But it was all you,
all the time
You showing your grace
and mercy
Giving me what
I don't deserve
How could I
have been so blind?
Lord, now my eyes are open
I can really see
I want to walk down
your straight & narrow path
I think I know the way now,
but I'm afraid it's still me
I don't want to screw this up,
by implanting my desires in Your will
I want to follow You alone
down Your path,
And not continue mine,
that leads straight to hell
Lord, erase my memory, my strength
my will to do it alone,
Fill me with Your heart,
Your love, Your desires
Make me into
a Jesus Clone!
