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.
