His Purpose

Similar in vein to 'Forty-Two'...

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands" Psalm 138:8

In seeking your purpose Oh God I'm so nervous
Of even putting one foot wrong
And in this task of deciding which should be exciting
I’m filled with a sense of fear so strong
That I’m begging for some kind of sign
To show me when you’d have me go

So often I’ve strayed from the path you have laid
Sometimes even knowingly
And so I’m fearful of finding a lifetime of climbing
Will never bring me back to what you’d planned for me
God, help me believe that you will take me
Where you’d have me go

Cause you know all my ‘could’ve beens’
All my 'wonder if it should’ve beens’

Nothing’s a surprise
You’re not paralysed
Wondering how I got here
And though there are times when I’ve got it wrong
You’ve been rooting for me all along
Cocooning my mistakes in your hand of grace
Oh Lord, I won’t be afraid

So busy regretting
I’m almost forgetting
That you have done the hardest part
My victory is certain
You’ve lifted the burden
And promised that you’ll finish what you start
God, help me believe that you will complete
What you’re doing in me
Cause you know Oh Lord, you paid a high price for me
And it was for freedom you set me free

Cause you know all my 'could’ve beens'
Sometimes I wonder if they should’ve been

But you have brought me safe this far
And through these trials you’re changing me
Since the day you put this dream in me
Oh Lord I can’t wait to see what your love makes of me
I won’t be afraid
