If You Want Me To...



Trying to grow up, and find your way in such a secular world, that hates God, Hurts.
Trying to fit in with whoever will accept you, Hurts.
Adjusting yourself, to meet the needs of others, Hurts.
Constantly making the wrong choices that feel right at the time, and are so painful to think back on, Hurts.
Knowing you have a savior that will never leave you, nor turn his back on you, constantly forgives you, thinks your beautiful, funny, and intelligent, well that satisfies all our needs, erases all our insecurities, and wipes the guilt, shame, sorrow, anger, regrets, and jealousy out of our hearts.
When we let him love us, it makes it possible for us to let us love, and let others love us...

"The pathway is broken
And The signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to

Chorus:
Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone

ya oh oh no

So When the whole world turns against me

And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley If You want me to".
