Whatever He Wants for Me

1. Surrendered to the perfect will of God
I dare not give him less
Though he should lead my steps from here abroad
I want his will my life to bless

Whatever he wants for me, his will, his will I must know
Wherever he wants to send me, his way, his way I must go
If he but speaks I’ll obey at his voice
I’ve already decided His will is my choice
Whatever he wants for me, his will, his will I must do

2. My plan must not oppose his perfect will
I want to live his thought
My words and deeds his purpose to fulfill
For I am his, so dearly bought

Whatever he wants for me, his will, his will I must know
Wherever he wants to send me, his way, his way I must go
If he but speaks I’ll obey at his voice
I’ve already decided His will is my choice
Whatever he wants for me, his will, his will I must do

Louis Paul Lehman, 1914-1986

I posted this... but would I do anything...?  We like to hold on to things.  Or like things to stay the same way.
We like to think we'd do anything God wanted, but it starts small, and it starts at home.  Things like cleaning the bathroom, lol... or forgiving someone, and loving them.  Or giving something up.  We have to be willing to do the jobs or commands we have already been given.  Not so easy when I think of it like that.
If I can't do these things that I don't care for, would I really be able to do something "big"?

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.  Luke 16:10
