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! * Inspired by Mark 14:36*

    Alone not, alone yes in terms of 2 becoming 1 and alone Him doing it alone!
