Late last week this song dropped into my head and its been there ever since. I haven’t heard it for several years, so it dropped in of its own volition – or the Spirit’s volition.

I find it quite an emotional song. It’s about staying the course while knowing how susceptible you are to doing just the opposite. Yet you still make the choice to stay the path.

And you stay the course in a peaceable manner such as one that glorifies God, for the sake of his holy name.

Other than that, I’ll let it sing for itself. Lyrics are below.

Yours with a retro track,

Alison

I’m setting the stage for, the things I love.
And I’m now the man I, once couldn’t be.
Nothing on Earth could, now ever move me.
I now have the will and, the strength a man needs.

It’s my will, and I’m not moving.
‘Cause if it’s your will, nothing can shake me.
It’s my will, to bow and praise you
I now have the will, to praise my God

Complexity haunts me, for I am two men.
Entrenched in a battle, that I’ll never win.
My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me.
But you are my shelter, the strength that I need.

I’m learning to give up, the rights to myself.
The bits and the pieces, I’ve gathered as wealth.
And nothing compares to, the joy that you bring me.
The peace that you’ve shown me, is the strength that I need.
