I never asked for that

Image

I came to God with fashion sense
And clothes I bought at great expense
I knew the drill
All things down pat
God said, I never wanted that
I huddled with my life long friends.
Talk to strangers? That depends
I loved the show from where I sat
God said, I never wanted that.
I knew each song
I’ve heard them all
I’ve put his pictures on the wall
I cringed when someone’s song fell flat
God said, “I never wanted that.”
My i-pod has a thousand songs
Of worship stars before the throngs
On Sundays I step up to bat
God says I never wanted that.
He says, I want your heart to sing
and worship as me as rightful king
To come with sacrificial praise
To honor me in all your days
To drop your mask and foolish pride
for they’re not the reasons that I died
I conquered death to make you whole
Your LOVE has been my greatest goal
To vow your love and make it true.
Your love is what I want from you.
