Steppin'

From Lecrae's song, "Background." Off the "Rehab" album

I had a dream that I was captain of my soul.

I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank.

So I don't want to take the lead

Cuz I'm prone to make mistakes.

All these folks that follow me gon' end up in the wrong place.

So, just let me shadow you. And just let me trace your lines.

Matter fact just take my pen.

Here, you create my rhymes.

Cuz if I do this by myself I'm scared that I'll succeed.

And no longer trust in You, cuz I only trust in me.

And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction.

Paving a road to nowhere. Pour your life out for nothing.

You pulled my card, I'm bluffing

You know what's in my hand.

Me I just roll to trust you to cause the dice to land.

I'm in control of nothing. Follow you at any cost.

Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss.

And man I'm so at ease. I'm so content.

I play the background like it's an instrument.

This song has really ministered to me over the past month. It really is evident that no matter what we try to do, He is still in control. However, when we choose to obey, and not fight, He opens up amazing doors!!

Oswald Chambers wrote, "We only realize the power of the moral law when it comes with an "if." God never coerces us. In one mood we wish He would make us do the thing, and in another mood we wish He would leave us alone. Whenever God's will is in the ascendant, all compulsion is gone. When we choose deliberately to obey Him, then He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist us with all His almighty power."

I'm going to step aside...
