I'm So Glad I Asked

 I’m so glad I asked You to undertake

You know I get muddled and the mistakes that I make

I just want Your perfect will for my life

Or I get into trouble, yes, trouble and strife.

I opened my heart so You know my desires

But they’re not set in stone and the enemy conspires

I’ll leave it to You, Lord, to lead me aright

I can only be happy if You’re King of my life.

So I set down before You the steps that I took

My intention was just to sit beside a clear brook

To daydream and write of the Saviour I love

To share with some others about our home above.

But the things that I touched have just crumbled away

My dreams are all shattered and hope’s died with the day

So now I surrender and ask You dear Lord

Please take my hand; guide me; I need You on board.

Not as a sailor or even first mate

I need You as Captain for You are first rate

I told You my dreams but my life story’s Yours

You’ll write the ending if I follow Your course.
