Little by little he opened my eyes to see
This was all part of the plan he had for me
The navy wasn’t for me though I felt its lure
Then later on I thought I’d be a dawg for sure
It was later on that year when I wasn’t running fast
A new opportunity in Nashville came to pass
I could see me in the red white and blue
Maybe running as a bruin was what I was to do
But something about Chatt-town tugged on my heart
I was still in doubt with such a rocky start
But now looking back on it all
You helped me hear your call
You brought me to the place
Where I would seek your face
You put people in my life
To help me pursue what’s right
Kids you’ve allowed me to reach
And your word I’ve heard preached
This is where you want me now
I don’t know when and I don’t know how
I will get to the place you want me next
But I know you will find a way to connect
My life to your will though I often turn
And walk my way and bridges I burn
Yet still in my filthy life you shine light
And find a way to use my useless life
For that I will praise you, your path I will seek
Climb til I reach the mountain’s peak
Push me from below when I need a lift
Don’t let me forget my strength is a gift
A gift from above
A gift of great love
A gift that needs a life of humility
Heal my blindness so I might see
The blessings you pour into my life
Are from you alone may I never lose sight
It is not about me but all about you
I'm trusting that you will see me through
