I Don’t Want To
God, I don’t want to be a preacher
I don’t want to be a teacher
I don’t want to go here or there
I don’t want to go anywhere
Lord, I don’t want to be the one
I don’t want to be leader of anyone
I don’t want to be out in front
I don’t want to, I don’t want
Abba, I don’t want it You see
I don’t want to stand, but flee
I don’t want to be the one seen
I don’t want to be on who they lean
Father, I don’t want any glory
I don’t want it to be my story
I don’t want it, please, don’t you see
Because it is never about me
B/S,
I always worry about my pride and vanity sneaking into anything I do for the Lord’s glory. I am not a shining example, in fact, I “I” too often. I wanted something to express my reluctance to answer my call. I am terrified by the notion of having influence (especially a negative) influence on someone else’s relationship with God. I don’t want to lead any astray. I also hate saying “I” this much.
I don’t do good works because I want to. I don’t write these things because I want to. I am lazy. I mean it. I have work ethic, I do my best in all applications, but to be honest I am lazy and selfish. Yet, I do write, I do serve, I do these things because it is truly not about me. I do all things for God and for His glory.
God bless
