lyrics

Thy Will Be Done

MY LIFE IS RUINED!
I JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE TO GO,
WHERE TO FIND ANY ANSWERS!

THIS LIFE IS ALL I’VE REALLY EVER KNOWN,
YOU’VE NEVER SHOWN ME THE WAY TO BE WHO I AM
[Looks to the Heavens] “SIR”!

SHOULD I REJECT A PART OF ME
SO THEY CAN FLAUNT THEIR FORGIVENESS?

HOW COULD YOU LET ME LOVE,
THEN MAKE ME
[Spoken] Beg for their mercy!?

IS IT YOUR WILL
TO TRY AND KILL
ALL THE JOY I’VE DISCOVERED?

IF YOU CREATED LOVE,
WHY DO I FEEL, I DON’T BELONG
IN A WORLD FULL OF LOVERS?

I’VE PRAISED YOUR NAME
AND MERCY EVERLASTING
WHAT MORE MUST I DO?
MY GOD, THY WILL BE DONE

I’VE LIVED MY LIFE
IN SERVICE TO YOUR PEOPLE
WHAT MORE MUST I BE?
MY GOD THY WILL BE DONE
OH MY GOD,
THY WILL . . .BE . . . . DONE!
