Your Will Be Done In Me

Song by Leane Winger

 

Lyrics:

Good news from an angel, the saviour is coming,

But her world is turned upside down.

The hope of her people, foretold through the ages.

But not quite what they counted on.

It’s joy to the world but for her she’s not certain

The scandal in which she must live.

Despite all the questions, the fear and the wonder,

There’s only one answer to give:

 

Your will be done,

However hard and lonely it might seem.

Your will be done

On the road you have for me.

When doubts arise and hope is lost,

When it comes time to count the cost,

I lay my way down at your feet.

Your will be done in me. 

 

He kneels in the garden, he knows it is coming,

The reason he came on that night.

Disciples are sleeping, the dark growing deeper,

Betrayal is just out of sight.

Oh please take this cup, now his voice rings in anguish.

He could choose to not pay the price.

With sweat drops of blood and a heart full of sorrow 

He looks to the father and cries:

 

Your will be done,

However dark and painful it might be.

Your will be done

On the road to Calvary.

The agony that is in store

Brings hope to many, many more.

I lay my way down at your feet.

Your will be done in me.

 

So in every moment we look to our saviour 

With those who believe in his name.

Like those gone before us, we find the Lord’s favour

Can lead to a difficult way.

But we know that this pain will last just for a moment.

The joy set before us is sure.

We cling to the love of our God who is faithful 

And the glorious hope that we share.

 

Your will be done.

Someday some glorious day I’ll finally see.

Your will be done,

What you have done in me.

I stand at last before your throne 

And know this life is not my own.

Now and forever may it be.

Your will be done in me.
