It is not for me!

It is not for me! 
To know what tomorrow 
Has in store for me!
Mine is to trust 
That it shall be well!

 

It is not for me
To know the “what “ the “why
And the “ when”! 
Mine is to submit to 
His divine guidance 
He knows the “ what” “ why” 

And the “ how” better 
Than I do.

 

It is not for me
To ask why life
Dealt wrongly with me!  
Mine is to trust, because 
All things will work 
For my good, if I can wait patiently

 

It is not for me 
To fight battles, for the weapons 
Of the flesh will fail me, so
I'll trust the arm of the Lord 
And rely on Him. This my 
Victory will guarantee.

 

It is not for me
To speak in the presence 
Of my enemies, the Lord
Will give me words to say 
He promised, so I'll wait 
Till it be fulfilled; to His glory!

 

It is not for me!
It is not for me!
Oh, Lord, it is not for me! 
All belongs to you
The power, the glory 
The majesty and Thanksgiving!
