Ready??

Well, it's time to post some more lyrics! Yes, Brad, this time, they're yours! I can't get this song out of my head. I wish you could all hear it...it's quite a catchy tune, and the words are awesome! If I haven't already shared it with you, let me know and I'll play it for you (assuming you don't mind, Brad). A friend of mine wrote this song, and I think that it is such an amazing sentiment. I'm ashamed to say that the the first verse seems to express where I seem to be in my life right now! I pray that I can get past that point and move on to being READY!!! Thanks for sharing, Brad! You've challenged me to be fearless and bold for the sake of His kingdom!

I’ve made excuses, time after time.
I’ve been a fool and believed the lies.
I’ve straddled the fence with half-hearted faith
I’ve taken advantage of Your grace.
I’ve gone down a thousand dead end roads
But I’ve turned around and I’m gonna follow.

I’ve been holdin’ back, I’ve been to afraid, Lord
But I’m ready now
You’ve opened my eyes
I’m layin it down, Lord,
I’m ready now
I’m ready now

And now I surrender, I’m finally done
Fighting the battles You’ve already won
I wanna be fearless, I wanna be bold
Led by Your Spirit wherever I go
And every step in this race I run
For the sake of Your kingdom,
Let Your will be done

I’ve been holdin’ back, I’ve been to afraid, Lord
But I’m ready now
You’ve opened my eyes
I’m layin it down, Lord,
I’m ready now
I’m ready now
