Alvin Slaughter - Not My Will lyrics
[Alvin Slaughter - Not My Will lyrics]
Do You have to take the dearest thing
That means the most to me
And ask me to surrender it completely
Lord how can I say I love you
I put other things above you you forgive me
You know the the only way to
Live is learning how to die
But then and only then will you
Be lord of my life
There's a price to pay and dance to die
There's a crown to gain a joy to find
When I totally commit my self to you
Not my will but thine be done
Lord I wanna be just like your son
Unreservedly surrendered now to you
There's so many ways I could go
But any from you I would be alone
I know you know whats best
If there be any other way, oh lord
Please take this cup from me
'Cause, I hate the thought of
Walking up to Calvary
But, if that's what I must do
Then I'd be willing lord
To faithfully obey you
And the glory that await's me when
At last in you I find
Abandonment to selfish things and
Total piece of mind
There's a price to pay, a death to die
There's a crown to gain, a joy to find
When all of who I am belongs to you
Not my will but thine be done
Lord I wanna be just like your son
Unreservedly surrendered now to you you
That means the most to me
And ask me to surrender it completely
Lord how can I say I love you
I put other things above you you forgive me
You know the the only way to
Live is learning how to die
But then and only then will you
Be lord of my life
There's a price to pay and dance to die
There's a crown to gain a joy to find
When I totally commit my self to you
Not my will but thine be done
Lord I wanna be just like your son
Unreservedly surrendered now to you
There's so many ways I could go
But any from you I would be alone
I know you know whats best
If there be any other way, oh lord
Please take this cup from me
'Cause, I hate the thought of
Walking up to Calvary
But, if that's what I must do
Then I'd be willing lord
To faithfully obey you
And the glory that await's me when
At last in you I find
Abandonment to selfish things and
Total piece of mind
There's a price to pay, a death to die
There's a crown to gain, a joy to find
When all of who I am belongs to you
Not my will but thine be done
Lord I wanna be just like your son
Unreservedly surrendered now to you you
