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
