Not what I thought
This is not how I pictured it. I did all the right things. I smiled, I prayed, I packed, I did what was right. Had I forgotten what You spoke so clearly on that sunny spring day? You said "It's time for you to stop doing and start being".
I did not understand; I wanted to know what I had to do, but now I see the rebellion in my heart. I did everything you said, but my heart screamed no; others thought I was running away and yet I pressed on - doing what I knew was right, yet my heart cried why; I called it obedience, but my heart would not turn to you and look you in the eye.
I hear you call my name, you told me that you want my heart and not my sacrifices. You want me not my actions. This Lord I will try to bring, I find it's not easy. So could you help me to the place you long for me to be?
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.And I cannot hold it in and remain composed.Love's taken over me and so I propose the letting myself go. I am letting myself go.
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
