Jesus, use me here.

kjieri gave me this song last spring when i was so restless at moody.
these lyrics, by everybodyduck, have been a theme song for yesterday
and today, and will probably be for a good length of time.
it's hard to be here. but here are the lyrics :)


Use Me Here, Where I am,
I'm not gonna pray anymore that You'll change Your plans.
Despite my fear, I place my life in Your hands.
The future can wait, tomorrow might be too late,
So Jesus use me here.

I lay my hearts desires at your feet, o Lord.
Take all the plans I've made and all my dreams.
Blinded by triumphs of tomorrow,
I've let sin control today.
So many drowning within reach.
Father, it's time You heard me say... (chorus)

I tell myself I want to know Your will, O Lord.
Still I confess I've had plans of my own.
But from now on I plan to listen to Your will and to obey.
No matter what the future holds, I'm gonna live for You today.

Use Me Here, Where I am,
I'm not gonna pray anymore that You'll change Your plans.
Despite my fear, I place my life in Your hands.
The future can wait, tomorrow might be too late,
So Jesus use me here.
Use me here.
