Usually, when I feel I have something important to say

I'll write it all down and throw it away

The next day I wont care

So there's no reason to share

But this thought and feeling

Has been in my head screaming 

It's both a fear and relief

To get it all down and let someone read

But I've realized this thought is not just for me

In fact, not for me at all

But from me, and from my heart

I must ask what you think

Of me and this dream

I must ask what you expect to see 

From this life I've chosen to lead

Because I can't promise excitement

I may not find that "road to enlightenment"

I just want to love God and His people

Not that this task is so feeble

But may I ask for your support in a new way

As I learn and stumble and make mistakes?

Expectations are tricky things

Worse it seems, when they're placed on me

My only desire is His heart to overtake my own

But how to let that happen, I have not yet known

I can promise you this

I'll try every day

I have already vowed to patiently obey

I don't know where He'll lead

Or what He'll make of me

I may not present a great story

Or tales of triumph and glory

So if that's what you wanted to see

I can say it can't be found in me

I'm seeking the same as you

Waiting for my king to come into view

Don't think I'm not thankful

I tell you, my heart is so full

Just remember I'm human and weak

The strength is in Him I seek

To Him I lay down my crown

Along with the fear that I might let Him down
