Song of the week

This is an oldie but a goodie from Steven Curtis Chapman. Read through this and really listen to the words. Very humbling, challenging and true.

I made a list, wrote down from A to Z
All the ways I thought that You could best use me
Told all my strengths and my abilities
I formed a plan it seemed to make good sense
I laid it out for You so sure You'd be convinced
I made my case, presented my defense
But then I read the letter that You sent me
It said that all You really want from me is just

Whatever, whatever You say
Whatever, I will obey
Whatever, Lord, have Your way
'Cause You are my God, whatever

So strike a match, set fire to the list
Of all my good intentions, all my preconceived ideas
I want to do Your will no matter what it is
Give me faith to follow where You lead me
Oh, Lord, give me the courage and the strength to do ...

I am not my own
I am Yours and Yours alone
You have bought me with Your blood
Lord, to You and You alone do I belong
And so whatever

This is based from Proverbs 19:21

Many plans are in the human heart, but the advice of the LORD will endure.

And Psalm 40:8

I desire to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart."

And Psalm & 143:10

Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.
