I Live, I Praise, I Am
on His messianic mission Jesus sent out two of His men
to retrieve an untamed ass for He had need of him
It was a prophetic moment whose time had finally come
for the Messiah to ride on the back of ass before that day was done
as obedience always follows opportunity in the economy of life
I live, I praise, I am because of Jesus' sacrifice
the Lord had need of that beast at that appointed hour
and it was perfectly positioned by God all-knowing power
so do you think that the Lord God has need of you?
and are you in the right place for Him to get through?
are you anointed and appointed and what is your destiny?
are you in the right place where of you our God can see?
are you like a donkey who is perceived as difficult and headstrong?
or are you like that ass that Jesus rode exactly where you belong?
are you able to carry the burdens of life that will surely come your way?
are you able to walk in God's spirit of peace each and every day?
do you know your purpose? do you even know your role?
are you in synch with God's plans for you and do you allow Him to be in control?
I live, I praise and because of Jesus I am here
available to Him no matter, what, who, when or where
yet when you worship the Lord God others may invoke
for you to quiet it down as to them you provoke
but I live, I praise and for God I will shout
a true disciple of Jesus no need for the stones to cry out
and while I live the Lord my God I will continuously praise
and while I praise my hands to Him will be forever raised
I am because I was conceived by my Father God
and I know He is real for He is deep in my heart
I live, I praise and because of God I am here this day
worshipping Him no matter what the world has to say
