Album: LET LOVE TOUCH YOUR LIFE | Song lyrics to: I'LL DO IT YOUR WAY
"I'LL DO IT YOUR WAY"
The road You said to take, Lord, seemed too simple,
I tried to prove there was a better way.
Each careful step I took just made me stumble,
And each course I planned just led further astray.
I heard Your loving voice trying to guide me,
But I strove to be the master of my fate.
I built a world of power, fame and fortune,
But the sorrows in my heart grew day by day.
Chorus:
Now I'll do it Your way, for I've tried it my way,
And endlessly wandered down so many lonely highways.
I'll do it Your way, Lord, I'll do it gladly,
Your Love has won my empty broken heart.
I fought in spite of all You did to help me,
I turned my back on You time and again.
I ran away in hopes of being something,
And only wound up nothing in the end.
[Repeat chorus]
Chorus:
[I'll do it Your way,] I tried it all alone,
[I've tried it my way,] could not make it on my own!
[And endlessly wandered down so many lonely highways.]
Oh, Lord! [I'll do it Your way,]
Show me what to do, [I'll do it gladly,] and then I will follow You!
[Your Love has won my empty broken heart.]
Your Love has won my empty broken heart.
I'll do it Your way.
