Thank you my Lord for words you gave me to impart.
Please forgive me for neglecting them for so long.
As a little child, I knew deep down they were in my heart,
But somehow I neglected using Your gift for so long.

Oh when will we learn to put pride behind us forever?
To think not of what people will think, but trust in Thee
To somehow, the worldly things and thoughts to sever,
And only then, by doing Your Will, can we truly be free.

For all these years I thought, surely He doesn't mean this for me:
But over and over my heart kept urging me all the while to write
And when I began to truly listen, only then could I really see,
That my Lord wanted me to work for Him while in His Light.

So children of God don't wait for the time to be just right.
If you feel Him tugging, and nudging deep inside your heart,
Do His will now, while He waits, before the darkness of night
And He will lead and guide you, and from you He'll never part.
