[C]
Now Lord, you know I've traveled [G]
many highways, just drifted along on any old wind [C] that blows.
[Am] [G]
[C] I've set so many goals, but never [G] made them, because your good work wasn't in [Dm] them, I [C] suppose.
I've struggled many years to [G] seek my fortune, seems every step I took I [C] fell back to.
Till one day the Lord [G] spoke unto me, He said, I've got some things that I want you [C] to do.
Just [Dm] [C]
[F] put away [G] your worldly
[C] ambition,
[F] give up [G] and let your [C] heart be free.
[Dm] [C]
[F] You take up [G] my cross, [C] and then [E] you follow [F] me, and [C] I'll make you what [G] I want you [C] to be.
And since that day I had my talk [G] with Jesus, He's shown me many things I [C] never knew.
He's given me so much, I just [G] keep asking, [C] [G] is there anything [Em] that I [G] can do [C] for you?
