whatever I do
Is it to God my Father I live

Is it wrong
to desire staying
are my motives wrong

He will determine
if only
I could come to terms
and be joyful

whatever the determination made

whose life, death and resurrection

must I give in,
give up
and let it be
Is it better ...
Maybe so ...
to be free
than tied down
to so many

Help me know Lord
Help me know
Help me be at peace
Help me to be joyful
Maybe so ...
to be free
than tied down
to so many
limitations
Help me know Lord
Help me know
Help me be at peace
Help me to be joyful
In Your name O Lord I pray.
