I hope your week has been blessed – my week has been very busy, reasonably uneventful, and very blessed…

Today I took several of our Campus Ministry students hiking at Hocking Hills State Park. The place is amazing…clearly God’s handiwork, but it possesses nowhere near the wonder as the people I hiked with…after all we are His crowning creation!

I’m posting the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time today – it truly is an amazing song.  As usual a video is embedded in the sidebar to the right of this post. Just click the video and enjoy listening to the song as you read the words.

I hope you’re blessed for visiting – and that you have a wonderful weekend!

My Will – D.C. Talk

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, then 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, all the strength that I need

It’s my will, and I’m not moving
Cause if it’s Your will, then nothing can shake me
It’s my will, to bow and praise You
I now have the will to praise my God

I’m learning to give up the rights to myself
The bits and the pieces I’ve gathered as wealth
Could never compare to the joy that You bring me
The peace that You show me is the strength that I need

It’s my will, and I’m not moving
Cause if it’s Your will, then nothing can shake me
It’s my will, to bow and praise You
I now have the will to praise my God

We’ve got to be children of peace
Don’t you know we’ve got to be children of peace
