To Do The Father's Perfect Will

As we go about our daily lives, sometimes we find it hard to do what the Lord would want us to. There are so many distractions, so many problems, and so many other things that try to stop us from doing His perfect will for our lives. He knows this, and all He expects us to do is try.

To Do The Father's Perfect Will

To do the Father's perfect will
Is the sole desire of my heart,
For I want to be His vessel
And from this world to be set apart.

His will is that all people
Will be called to follow Him,
So I want His light to shine in me,
And never to grow dim.

I want Him to take my heart of clay,
In the poor condition that it is,
And break it, mould and shape it,
Until it is more like His.

Then I want Him to fill it with His love,
His mercy, joy and peace,
So that I can reach out to those in need,
And help them from sin to find release.

I want to tell them what He did,
When He sent His Son to die for me,
And that, if they will only turn to Him,
From sin and shame He'll set them free.

I want to tell them He rose again
So they could have eternal life,
And that when He ascended to His Father's side,
He set them free from pain and strife.

I pray that He'll help me do His will,
And bring glory to His name,
For I know that if I call on Him,
My life will never be the same.

So I will bow my knee to Him,
As I come before His throne,
And I will yield my life to Him,
To do His will, and His alone.
