...change
i drove home last night and old old song lyrics began to run in my mind.
I had laid some mighty plans
Thought I held them in my hands
Then my world began to crumble all away
I tried to build it back again
I couldn't bear to see it end
How it hurt to know You wanted it that way
And I'm so glad
Glad to find the reason that I'm happy-sad
That You've torn it all away
And I'm so glad
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving everything I ever thought that I would be...
Once I held it in my hand; it was a kingdom made of sand
But now You've blown it all away; I can't believe that I can say,
That I'm glad
Long before my plans were made,
I know a master plan was laid,
With a power that superseded my control.
And if that truth could pierce my heart,
I wouldn't wander from the start,
Trying desperately to make it on my own.
And I'm so glad,
Glad to find the reason that I'm happy-sad
That You've torn it all away
And I'm so glad
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving everything I ever thought that I would be.
Once I held it in my hand; it was a kingdom made of sand.
But now You've blown it all away; I can't believe that I can say,
That I'm glad.

I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe
I have decided
Bein' good is just a fable
I just can't 'cos I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord
There's a wealth of things that I profess I said that I believed
But deep inside I never changed; I guess I'd been deceived
'Cos a voice inside kept telling me that I'd change by and by,
But the Spirit made it clear to me that kind of life's a lie.
I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe
I have decided
Bein' good is just a fable
I just can't 'cos I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord
So forget the game of being good and your self-righteous pain
'Cos the only good inside your heart is the good that Jesus brings
And when the world begins to see you change don't expect them to applaud
Just keep your eyes on him and tell yourself, I've become the work of God
things are changing...my heart is moving. action calls. i've been in this nursery too long. the door is open; just waiting for me to step
forward
forward
forward
we'll have to wait and see what happens.
here's to the year of growth and expansion. may we all set our sights higher, may our feet tread on solid ground and may our hearts be filled with the true joy of Christ.
