The Place I Want to Live

I am a very strong person.
I can carry a heavy load and work problems out.
I can go along way in my own strength....

...But there is a better place that I want to live.
Surrendered
Abandoned to my way of thinking and doing things
Yielded
My weakness laid at His feet
His strength...His grace carries me.

I am good at keeping myself busy
...but there is a better place I want to live.
A place where doing is secondary
Being is primary.

A place of quietness and rest

Oh to stop running and doing.
Running and doing...
...these are acceptable in our culture
...they earn you honor and respect...in the eyes of men

But I want His approval...to be pleasing to Him
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

That's where I want to live.
