The song starts by saying:
You brought me this
far
So why would I
question you now
You have provided
So why would I start
to doubt
I've never been
stranded
Abandoned or left here
to fight alone
So I'm giving you
control
I lift my heart, lift
my heart up
You can have it
forever
All my dreams, all my
plans
Lord
I leave it in your
hands
I lift my life, lift
my life up
Have your way in me
Have
your way in me
If peace is a river
Then let it sweep over
me
I'm under fire
I know
it's refining me
When I hear you
calling out
I follow now wherever
the road may go
I know you're leading
me home
In an earlier post I wrote about starting a new
job. I wrote about how I had this perfect plan lined out to teach in a
classroom and to finish my Master's Degree in Literacy. Then God took me a
whole different direction. A direction I never would have pursued on my own. As
I've started this new chapter in my life, I feel it now more than ever that I
need God in every area of my life. I need Him in my marriage, in my
friendships, in my job, and in our youth group. Without God being at the center
of everything I do, I am worthless. There are so many days I wake up and get to
work and think I am so unqualified for this job, yet God continues to give me
peace and wisdom. There are days where I don't want to love to those around me,
and God reminds me to walk alongside of them and love them. I am realizing the
beauty of simply walking with people where they are. There are days when I
don't want to serve Chris and I want to be selfish, yet God reminds me that I
am serving Him through serving Chris. I know that God is stretching me and
continuing to mold me into the person He wants me to be. This song is my
prayer. That I would honestly lift everything in my life up to God, that He
would have His way in me. I know that He is making me new and it is such
a beautiful experience.
