[English]

I wake up and I talk to You Father

Wanna show You that I'm a good daughter

You said use all my gifts to serve others

And that's 1st Peter 4:10

And I'd been wrong not to acknowledge

That Jesus took me out of bondage

He told me right in Matthew 10

To speak in the light what we learn in the darkness, yeah

I was so afraid

Living life my way

Taking all the wrong turns

But end up in the right place

All because Your love was there to pick me up

Now I want what You want for me

If it ain't Your will

If it ain't Your will, I don't want it

If it ain't Your will

If it ain't Your will

If it ain't Your will, I don't want it

Noo-ooh

So could you make sense

Of what I've been through

I know Your promises always come through

Could you make sense of what I've been through

Lord, I know You gon' come through

Lord, please forgive the way I used to listen to my heart

More than I would listen to You

When You always knew what to do

And all the things I did living in sin is in the past

You said that the first would be last

And made me never wanna go back

Cause, I was so afraid

Living life my way

Taking all the wrong turns

But end up in the right place

All because Your love was there to pick me up

Now I want what You want for me

If it ain't Your will

If it ain't Your will, I don't want it (ooh)

If it ain't Your will

If it ain't Your will

If it ain't Your will, I don't want it

Noo-ooh

So could you make sense

Of what I've been through

I know Your promises always come through

Could you make sense of what I've been through

Lord, I know You gon' come through
