You Lord
From the album "Pray For Rain"
Vireo Records/Sparrow Records SVD 2202
Written by Joel Hanson
I used to do okay on my own
Think I was made of stone
And I could carry a heavy load
Never thought that one day I'd be all alone
But then the road got long
I saw I was wrong
And had no one to lean upon
But You kept me from falling far below
And taught me something I had never known
That You Lord, You Lord
Can hold my heart in your hands
And You Lord, You Lord
Can change me in a fleeting glance
And You Lord, You Lord
Can push me to know greater things
If I had a dime for every time
I've tried to live this on my own
I guess I'd be a rich man, wouldn't I?
But money never brought me peace, love, or happiness
It only seemed to make a mess
And right about then I opened my eyes
And once again I realised
That You Lord, You Lord
Can hold my heart in your hands
And You Lord, You Lord
Can change me in a fleeting glance
And You Lord, You Lord
Can push me to know greater things
Push me out
Until I stand on stone and say I made a choice
Push me down
Until I'm on my knees and listening for Your Voice
Push me around
Until my life touches others and they see what I've found
Show me how
I can take this life and give it away
You Lord, You Lord
Can hold my heart in your hands
And You Lord, You Lord
Can change me in a fleeting glance
And You Lord, You Lord
Can push me to know greater things
(Indistinguishable voice at the end)
