Alvin Slaughter Not My Will
Do You have to take the dearest thing
that means the most to me
and ask me to surrender it completely
Lord how can I say I love you
I put other things above you
You forgive me
You know the the only way to live is learning how to die
but then and only then will you be lord of my life
theres a price to pay and dance to die
theres a crown to gain a joy to find
when I totally commit my self to you
Not my will but thine be done
Lord I wanna be just like your son
Unreservedly surrendered now to you
Theres so many ways I could go
but any from you I would be alone
i know you know whats best
If there be any other way, oh lord
Please take this cup from me
'Cause I hate the thought of walking up to Calvary
But if that's what I must do
Then I'd be willing lord to faithfully obey you
And the glory that awaits me when at last in you I find
Abandonment to selfish things and total piece of mind
There's a price to pay, a death to die
There's a crown to gain, a joy to find
When all of who I am belongs to you
Not my will but thine be done
Lord I wanna be just like your son
Unreservedly surrendered now to you you
