I Wanna Be A Part of Something Big

If that means I'll be a high school dropout.. that's fine by me.
If that means I'll be an early grad superstar.. that's also fine by me.
The last thing I want to do is get in God's way.
I want to do whatever he tells me to,
to go wherever he tells me to go.

And if that's not Harvard, all the better
And if that is Harvard, all the better
And if this is Australia, my ticket's gonna be bought
And if this is Madison, New Jersey, I'll drop anchor

I'm safe as long as God's with me
I'm safe as long as I'm in danger
I'm safe as long as I'm not totally
welcome or fit in this world

I'm safe as long as I'm obeying God
I'm safe as long as I'm putting His will first
I'm safe as long as I don't get in His way
I'm safe as long as I'm active in the passenger seat

I'm best when I'm looking where he's looking
I'm best when I'm following Jesus' example
I'm best when I'm God's radical hands and feet
I'm best when I'm His humble uninhibited

I fit when I'm out of this world's place
I fit when I'm in the holy of holies

Some rules are meant to be broken
Some rules are meant to be upheld
Some rules are meant to dominate
And some are meant to be crushed

God's direction comes before my guidance counselor's
God's direction comes before my mother's
God's direction comes before my family's
God's direction comes before my own

Whichever way I should be led
Please pray I go that way
Please pray that pride and self-absorption
don't overwhelm me

Please pray for the humility with which I struggle
Please pray for the caring heart I sometimes selfishly exploit
Please pray for dedication and devotion the fearless sense
Please pray for clear guidance and unmuffled wisdom

Please and Thank You
