I Just Want To Be Me (22/11/1)

I don’t want to be an eagle, to fly high in the sky
‘Cos I know I wouldn’t be happy unless serving God Most High

I don’t want to be a lion, lording it over my friends
‘Cos if I had a tail and paws, I couldn’t serve with my hands

I don’t want to be a squirrel, eating nuts all day
‘Cos it’s kind of hard if you’re a squirrel to show the world the way

I don’t want to be you either, ‘cos God has a plan for me
And the plans he has for me are just as good as those he has for thee (I think this stanza needs some editing...)

I don’t want to be superman, ‘cos even superman can fall
But if we trust in Jesus Christ he’ll always hear our call

I just want to be a servant of God, to know and do His will
And God has specially placed me here, so I’ll trust him and just be still
With the tools God has blessed me with, there’s no one more ideally suited for this
So I guess I just want to be me, ‘cos Jesus is my victory.
