It's Not My Story



It's not my story
Lord take this pen
use me for your glory
don't let me have my own way
it's all for your glory
it's your story


I wanted to leave this work
Yet I heard a voice
My Father speaking
I heard Him asking
What if I had a reason
for this very season
what if I’m teaching
let go of your way of doing
let go of seeking people’s love
I want you to seek Me, above
for true love only I give
I long for you to live
this life for my glory

It's not my story
Lord take this pen
use me for your glory
don't let me have my own way
it's all for your glory
it's your story

I’m not here to please myself
To get my own way
I have only one life
I must live this day
not afraid of others or their applause
only for His Kingdom and righteousness 
I was seeking something else
my own gain and selfishness 
I must let go 
that this seed might grow
it’s roots stretching deep
that no matter what heap 
of weed or stormy breeze
might blow to pieces
rooted down deep
firmly planted in His love
I want to be near to Him
no matter the cost

It's not my story
Lord take this pen
use me for your glory
don't let me have my own way
it's all for your glory
it's your story
