If I Had My Way
If I had my way, I wonder what in the world would show?
Would there be love to every soul,
Would I let sinners go?
Would I stop wars, feed hungry men,
Or simply let them be.
I wonder what I’d really do,
If God gave power to me?
I hope I’d always merely show,
Regardless of the one
Remembering what was done for me,
When God gave us His son
I hope I’d keep the Son with me,
Let Him show me the way
I wonder what the world would be,
If I had my way.
Oh Lord I will not seek my way,
Yours is best for me.
In wisdom let me walk with you,
For I can surely see.
Selfishness might rule my heart,
Taking I’d never give.
Just give me what you want to,
For love’s sake let me live.
