lyrics

If it’s not Your will, be it far from me
May Your perfect plan be my destiny
May I never cloud Your guiding light
When I hear You call, may I not take flight
May I in some way Your Kingdom spread
May a word of love never be unsaid
May the joy of Christ exceed my trials
May my will and Thine be reconciled

May your perfect plan be my destiny
If it’s not Your will I will not proceed
Be it far from me, be it far from me, be it far from me

As I travel forth on the sea of life
May the peace of God conquer all my strife
Keep my eyes away from the doubtful sight
May my lips be guarded from all spite
When the foe seems strong and I suffer shame
Give me grace to boldly speak Your name
When I’ve no more use for this earthly place
May my joy be full when I see Your face
