LET ME

Let me be all you've planned for me

If this is it, then Lord let it be

You must not be finished with me for now

I fell you're telling me how

How to mellow out and go with the flow

Cause I've struggled and lost but

have fought and won

What else is there that I haven't done

There is much I am sure

I've been on a fence and sort of in-between

The world I've known but the Heavens I've seen

Glimpse of that is------.

The Works of My God have me praying for more

More of everything there is even it be jobs and chores

I feel a need to reach out and touch

Many who are lost and need you so much

Some need to know yes or no

Should I stay or should I go

Discussion and choices are certainly available

It's all in the Book and out on the tables

All of us need what is on the line

Plenty of guidance and not many riches

The only thing most lacking for us is time

How long will God wait---Til we all come alive

And realize we are lost forever

But could live eternally

If only we'd obey the laws and complete the plan

And to put an end to the Puzzles of what God Can and will do for man

At times I feel like I'm on a mountain and don't know whether to come down

An all time high for God is what I know

Cause I see clearly he hurt, pain, and needs of many down on the ground

So should I stay on the mountain where you've set me free

So I'll be closer to my eternal home with Thee

Coming down, is probably best

So my love and feelings can be shared with the rest
