Verse 1:
Why don't I do, Lord, the things You want me to do?
and why do I do things You don't want me to do?
I long to serve You to do what You say
and by Your grace only I might do that today.
PreChorus:
So take me and make me into Your image divine
and hold me and mold me - transform my life.
That I may sing praises with that life - I'll sing
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
with my voice I'll sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
with my mind I'll praise You
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
with my body let me worship
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
and my choices I want to praise You
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 2:
I turn my and and forget what do
To love my brother as a way to worship You
I want to follow in Your perfect love
And since You first loved me, may this be what is done.
PreChorus

Cry Out Of Romans
Why don't I do the things You want me to do?
Why do I do the things You don't want me to do?
But every morning new mercies arise, so take me and make me a child of Thine.
Yes make me and shape me until I am refined.
Why do I do the things You don't want me to do?
But every morning new mercies arise, so take me and make me a child of Thine.
Yes make me and shape me until I am refined.

Psalm 46 - God of All (cease striving)
Psalm 46 was one of the psalms that I have been trying to memorize since 2005. It has been hanging in my shower (yes - my shower) so that I see it everyday. the "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" is bolded and always catches my eye. Those few phrases have been emblazoned upon my heart and have been my stronghold when I was pushing hard to get my own way instead of God's way. Sometimes I just realize that I have to obey - and that means to just stop and recognize God's reign in my life - He is my stronghold.

Chorus
You told me to Cease, Cease Striving
You told me to Cease, Cease Striving
You told me to Cease, Cease Striving - know that You are God
Verse
You are God of all the nations
You are God of all the earth
You are God above creation
You are God of all
Bridge
Though the mountains tremble
and the earth will shake
You are are my Refuge
You are my Strength
Though the waters roar
we will not have fear
You will break the bow
You will cut the spear

it's about You
worship is about You - praising You - letting Your Glory shine through.
it's not about me - i am merely a vessel that wishes to praise You. God would you please give me Your words - that bring Your people - close to You. It's about You. It's about You.

Compel Me
This song was written in response to my heart feeling like it was indifferent. My mind knew that I had to engage with God. It was a conscious decision and a prompt from the Holy Spirit to simply stand up and PRAISE His name even when my heart felt 'un'compelled.
Compel Me
V1
for the words i cannot form
the thoughts that i can't articulate
the songs i cannot write to praise Your Name - praise Your Name
V2
so in the moments that I see
see You - in all my weakness may I find
the Hope in praising You - the Hope in praising You
Ch
Stand me Up in exultation
Stand me Up before Your Throne
Lift my arms into Your Adoration (Presence)
Compel me to Your Praise
V3
for my lack of understanding
my inability to rest in You
for the times my heart is wandering
i pray - i pray that You would . . .
