But, I Did It My Way
Lord, he tried to take me
But, you held on tight
I was lost and defeated
But, I still knew wrong from right
I knew what you asked of me
But, I had to do it my way
I ignored your silent whisper
But, the consequences, I had to pay
I was given talent to work with
But, I wasted it on sin
I knew what you were asking
But, I failed time and time again
I believed in you strongly
But, I had something called, pride
I thought it was bring me closer
But, from you it made me hide
I thought I was intelligent
But, wisdom, I had none
I was fleeing from integrity
But, I thought that I'd won
You gave me everything I needed
But, I may as well been blind
I was doing it my way
But, I was leaving you behind
My Lord, you were faithful
But, you gave me my space
It was a time of discovery
But, you put me in my place
My way, was not yours
But, you let me figure it out
I paid for my disobedience
But, now I can finally shout!
The "enemy", can't have me
But, to my Lord, I give it all
I know I did it my way
But, now, I answer His call
