“Your Will, Not Mine, Lord” is a song I wrote while waiting for the rest of my Sunday School class to be finished with their music practice.

Try to raise my kids to love the Lord

Try to teach my kids to do their chores

To become loving, respectful, powerful, wise, adults.

 

They argue, I plead.

They whine, I yell.

How can they be what I am not?

Can’t change them.

Can’t even change myself.

 

I want to do Your will.

In Your Power.

For Your Glory.

Lord.

Help me get myself out of the way.

 

Your Will

Your Power

Your Glory

Not mine, Lord

 

Your Will

Your Power

Your Glory

Not mine, Lord

 

Your Will

Your Power

Your Glory

 

Forever & ever Amen.
