To walk in my own ways is all that I have known
No clue I was lurking in the darkness all along
My rebellion springs from a dead heart only knowing and following my own will
Blindly rejoicing what in Your sight is evil
Yet, the Father, so wise, directed my steps and led me to His arms
The death of His Son gave me a new breath, new eyes to see
Slowly leading me to the way that pleases Thee
As I move forward, the road becomes narrow
Certain joys in life I have to let go
With every step, the shouts of temptation are louder
Luring my heart to the old ways I don't want to remember
Yet, the Father, so faithful empowers me with the Spirit
and sustains me with His Word
This life He ransomed is not for this world
No wealth, no fame, no one can satisfy a soul
That God created in Christ to be whole
Though sin's deception causes me to stumble
And though I foolishly set a trap for my own death,
The Father, so gracious, rescues and provides new beginnings
I am no longer chained by my previous failings
The hands of my Savior nailed on a cursed tree
Has torn the veil and set mine forever free
I know stormy days will come in the future
But I know Him who holds me safe and secure
Father so wise, faithful, and gracious, help me to trust
that on that day, Christ will come and meet me at last
Spirit, teach this impatient heart to wait for my soul's Lover,
Set my mind on things above - to look forward to being with Jesus,
my reward, my eternity, my ever after.
