Letting go of selfish yearnings
Turning it over to God’s will for me
Leaves me feeling fulfilled with purpose
Knowing that God has a plan and His way
Will bring me, not to simply good, but to best
~
Saying good-bye to my own ways
And taking up my cross and following
The One who knows where I need to go
Even when I want to swerve off the path
And go my own way, which is always destructive
~
Leaving my own ideas and plans
Seeking God’s will in everything I think
Gives me renewed peace that I’ve done the right thing
And given God the reverence that should be His
Even when I don’t feel like I want what He has for me
~
Departing from the wide road I know
Will bring me to that oh, so narrow way
Where God is giving me the answers to prayer
And showing me the way, the truth and the life
Real Love, the Savior who is my Lord Jesus Christ
~
Withdrawing from my greedy wants for myself
Brings me to the One who knows my true heart
And can make me into someone who is worthwhile
A friend of Jesus, the One who went to that cross at Calvary
And saved my soul from death, hell and the grave
~
Going out of the way to stay away from my ego
Enlightens my soul with serenity that is faithful
To encourage me and grace me with a joy that changes
My heart from darkest night to the most heavenly light
Thanks to God giving up my will is the answer to my prayers
