DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY - A WORRIER'S PRAYER
"Lord, to the best of my ability I have tried tosketch out my plans according to your will as I have learned it in the Bible, but, Lord, you are sovereign; I submit my plans to you. Your will be done!"
THE GOSPEL PATH
You are beyond knowledge to describe.
Of your nature we can only see,
Glimpses of your wonder and majesty.
Justice and Mercy come from above,
Along with your terrible wrath and your comforting love.
Many facets of your character come,
Eternally acting in harmony as one.
I confess my sin as rebellion as dark,
So many times I have missed the mark.
Thank you for the work of Your Son,
So that you see them as over and done.
No more guilt or dreadful consequence,
We have freedom to sing and to dance.
Now we live on your promises and truth,
The sacrifice on the cross is our proof.
Your Spirit guides us day by day,
As we become like Jesus in every way.
Forever and ever we will tell your story,
As we look to give you only, the praise and the glory.
