Me:
Life doesn’t always turn out like we think it should
We make plans in our minds as if it really would
In our perfect world we think we are in control
Then God changes everything and it’s not so wonderful

Release your hopes and dreams as a sacrifice by fire
Delight yourself in God and make Him your desire
The longings of your heart He will then fulfill
Come to Him in faith and with trusting heart be still

Lord:
My fire falls on the sacrifices offered up to Me
Releasing My great power to influence destiny
Eternity will prove the value of each trial
Great treasure is released through every self-denial

You can only do this in your short time here on earth
Eternity will prove your sacrifice’s worth
Do not waste the time I’ve given you down here
By sacrificial giving your love is shown sincere

Psalm 37:4-5 (NASB) – “Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He will do it.”

1 Chronicles 21:22-27 (NASB) – “Then David said to Ornan, ‘Give me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build on it an altar to the LORD; for the full price you shall give it to me, that the plague may be restrained from the people.’ 23 Ornan said to David, ‘Take it for yourself; and let my lord the king do what is good in his sight. See, I will give the oxen for burnt offerings and the threshing sledges for wood and the wheat for the grain offering; I will give it all.’ 24 But King David said to Ornan, ‘No, but I will surely buy it for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, or offer a burnt offering which costs me nothing.’ 25 So David gave Ornan 600 shekels of gold by weight for the site. 26 Then David built an altar to the LORD there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And he called to the LORD and He answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering. 27 The LORD commanded the angel, and he put his sword back in its sheath.”

Romans 12:9-21
