I'm Choosing God

I act like I got it all figured out
Like I know exactly what I am doing.
I am righteous, holy and pure without
your help, I can do it myself.

I trust my own guidance and desires
my own heart, my own flesh.
I don't trust anyone else
even those who know best.

I am the crowd,
the ones in front of the cross ,
not the ones crying
but the one's who are lost.

I spit on the face of Jesus
I am the worst of these
In my own weakness
I give the devil the keys.

I let him in
I follow the world
I do what I want
but I need the Lord.

I need him desperately
I can't do it by myself
I need his forgiveness
not the love of someone else.

Trust in the Lord
chapter 3 verse 5
I know it like the back  of my hand
but can't seem to comply

Get over your pride
Let go of your selfishness
but all that aside,
Stop your rebellion

Focus on the Lord
the one who has your best interest in mind
get away from the world
its destroying you inside

Choose the straight and narrow
Be that wife and student leader,
the one you know  you're called to be.

I am owning up for my actions
I am determined
to do what I need to
to get back in God's will

I am giving this one to God
because only he knows
I've tried
but I'm no where close

God take it from my hands
help me to fulfill
what you have planned for me
your good and perfect will.
