From: Gabriel!! =)

You may be cool,
I can walk on water.

You may be hot,
I'm set on fire.

You may be nice,
I live for others.

You may have riches,
I have no more room to keep mine.

You may be happy,
His joy is my strength.

You may be popular,
My name is in the big book in Heaven.

You may be strong,
I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.

You may be satisfied,
I press on for His upward calling.

You may have the skills,
I have the heart to learn them.

You may live for something worthwhile,
I live for an eternal cause.

You may call the shots,
I'm getting souls saved.

You may fulfil your dreams,
I'm carrying out His will.

You may feel loved,
Jesus died for me.

You may know where you're going,
I'm destined to enter His Kingdom.

You may not know what I'm talking about,
Because you don't know Christ...

Tossing and turning
You've brought me so far
Only to make me dissappointed
When I thought I was on par

You taught me who was in control

I had dreams
and hopes up so high
wishing that they'd come true
envisioning that day. oh my

You smiled,
My ways are not your own.

Just when i thought all was well
You told me there was more
Revealed to me the Master's plan
and not what it was for.

Life's a tapestry of events.
You told me to view it from Your eyes, not mine

I fumbled, stumbled
and then I fell
I cried, felt helpless
wounded and alone

then You told me that i could run back..
back in Your arms

I know this would happen again
it'll only make me grow
Living life this way may seem tough
but im more than ready
to reap what i sow

For You showed me your love
and told me to trust and obey,
for there is no other way;
for the One worthy - up above.
