“Thy Will Be Done”
This whole time you were preparing and molding me
This whole time you knew exactly what I would need
And still I am learning that things ain’t always gonna go my way
So I see that I should sit back, see your will, and obey
This whole time while I was crying you rocked me to sleep
And in my mind the hurt in the morning was easier to keep
And I see no matter how much I mess up or play around
You never left me like some of the people I thought would stay around
This whole time while situations seemed to worsen by the hour
You took the time to show me that things could be worse in my life
I see now that I’ve been ungrateful for all that you’ve done
And I’m ashamed cause I should’ve listened, saying “Thy will be done”
Reflecting on the past I see now that I had it so good
But I complained and you said “I need to show her what she should
be grateful for and praise me for all that I’ve done in her life”
Lord now I see the farther I ran, the farther your love was tried
And for a minute I drew closer and closer to your name
But still you said, “I have to test you; see if you love my name”
I thought I was true, but the devil decided to invade my life
Its funny how when I was on the devil’s side I seemed to have less strife
But as I come closer and closer to knowing you love me for me
He tries to hinder me with the doubts of my life and blind me
And this whole time, you were preparing me for what’s to come
And it ain’t over so I’ll just say “Oh Lord, Thy will be done”…
