In Denial

Called to teach, to preach, and to prophesy!
Are you sure that you’ve got the right guy?
Weren't you listening when I told that lie?

Lay my hands on the sick, and they shall recover!
You don’t really want me to that do you?
You must have intended to choose another?

To whom much is given, … yeah, I know the rest
I never even applied to take this course of life,
Yet everyday there’s always another test

I know you said that your grace is sufficient for me
To carry the weight of your Word to the worldly
I've even heard it said that you have called me by my name
And now I can hear you calling, but I can’t understand why you need me

Are you sure You want me?
I’m still a young man, full of fear and anger
I have frustrations, foolish pride, and I’m so selfish
I’m insecure, inexperienced, and often very disobedient
Even Jesus saves, but I’m almost always broke
Even then at times it seems I have more money than common sense

Yes, I hear you call me Lord, but I still can't see
Why through it all, and after all I’ve said and done
That You would still call me
Me, … Lord do you really want to use me?
If that is your will, then let it be
