I woke up at three a.m. every night last week 
Filled with an emptiness that just won’t let me sleep. 
Each look at the clock reminds me I’ve been wasting time, 
Trying to live some other life instead of living mine. 

Distracted by the answers in the books upon my shelf, 
I’ve re-read ‘most every word and still can’t find myself. 
Living life my own way, pretending not to know 
The You I was sure about many years ago.

Take this broken heart and fill it, fill it with your light. 
Take this wounded soul and will it into the fight. 
I know you’re the one who even wind and waves obey. 
Who am I to argue or stand in the way? 
I just want to live my life, the one that You ordained
The one that You ordained.

Another night of restless turning, it’s three a.m. again
I reminisce my yesterdays with you again old friend.
All those years of trying, making all the right moves,
Always something more to do something left to prove.

While you laid your plans for me, I went on denying.
You kept looking for me and I kept hiding.
Now that you have found me my heart can’t be contained.
You met me in my weakness and overlooked my stains. 

You took this broken heart and filled it, filled it with your light.
You took this wounded soul and willed it into the fight.
I know you’re the one who even wind and waves obey.
Who am I to argue or stand in the way?
I just want to live my life, the one that You ordained
The one that You ordained.

Make of me an instrument of peace and all your ways.
Help me see your footprints as I walk through my day 
When I’m feeling down and out with no place left to hide, 
Remind me that your door is open, welcome me inside.

I know you’re the one who even wind and waves obey.
By your grace I am reminded each and every day
I just want to live my life, the one that You ordained
The one that You ordained.
