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
