Here I am
All my intentions
All my obsessions
I want to lay them all down
In Your hands
Only Your love is vital
Though I'm not entitled
Still You call me Your child
God You don't need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To take my hands off of my life
And the way it should go
God You don't need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To open my hands up
And give You control
I give You control
I've had plans
Shattered and broken
Things I have hoped in
Fall through my hands
You have plans
To redeem and restore me
You're behind and before me
Oh help me believe
God You don't need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To take my hands off of my life
And the way it should go, oh
God You don't need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To open my hands up
And give You control
Oh You want me
Somehow You want me
The King of Heaven wants me
So this world has lost its grip on me

1 Thessalonians 2:8 8so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.
Philemon 1:6 and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.
1 Peter 3:15-16 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
Luke 12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”
THOUGHTS:
GOD DOESN’T NEED US …. HE GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN BRINGING ABOUT HIS WILL AND PLANS.
SOMETIMES WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE DONE UNTIL MUCH LATER.
SOMETIMES THE GREATEST LESSONS COME OUT OF OUR GREATEST FAILURES.
SOMETIMES WE HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND THE IMMEDIATE RESULTS DON’T SEEM TO BE GOOD BUT LATER WE REALIZE IT WAS.
SOMETIMES WE KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO, CHOSE TO DO THE WRONG THING BECAUSE IT SEEMS EASIER AND HAS LESS RISK AND LATER WE FIND THAT WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF HAD WE DONE WHAT WE KNEW WAS RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
