I heard this song for the first time this past week in the youth group that my husband and I work in and it was a blessing to me. I hope that it will be to you too.
All I Ever Want to Be
All I ever want to be is what you want of me, Lord; I give my life to you.
And all my hopes and dream and plans I place within Your hands, Lord,
And give my life to You.
Here am I , Lord, use me; take my life and mold me.
All I ever want to be is what You want of me, Lord; I give my life to You.
And all my hopes and dreams and plans I place within Your hands, Lord,
Here am I , Lord, use me; take my life and mold me.
All I ever want to be is what You want of me, Lord; I give my life to You.
And all my hopes and dreams and plans I place within Your hands, Lord,
And give my life to You.
I was struck with the words – “All I ever want to be is what you want of me, Lord.” Is that the only thing that I want to be – only what God wants of me? Or do I have my own selfish, sinful desires of what I want to be? Do I honestly place all my hopes and dreams and plans in God's hand or do I try to make them happen and determine the way I want to go in life? After I learned the tune to this song, the words and tune just stayed in my mind all week, and they were such a conviction and encouragement to me to truly place my life and hopes and dreams and plans in God's hands and to strive to be and only be what He wants me to be each day.
How about you? How has the Lord been working in your life? I would love to hear about it. Leave a comment or email me.
Thank you for posting this.I am a planner .I always have a long term plan and I am sad to say I useally am asking God to bless it and go along with it.SO FOOLISH!I pray this song might sink in this week for me.
ReplyDeleteI sang this song at camp multiple times, and I loved it. I really thought that it shows us that we are selfish with our ways. We need to let God lead the way. If we let him lead us now, we will be in a better place later. I really took this song to heart because it is so true that we don't even thing that we are sinning by making our own plans instead of folowing the all knowing God that cares about us, and knows what testing times we will be in the future. For me, I just have to remember that God is my father, and I am his daughter. I have to trust that he will guide me in his will. And I have to trust that he has a reason for everything that he does. I am so glad that this song was introduced to me because by hearing and singing it, it really paints a picture of how selfish we are. I also pray that I will step aside and let my Lord and Savior guide me.
