(Verse 1)
If I ask for things I should not pray, selfishly,
For myself and not my neighbor?
Will my Lord be angry with my cries,
And will He deny my selfish request?
(Chorus)
Not My Will, but Thine be done,
Oh Lord, I surrender all to You.
Not my will, but Yours alone,
In every circumstance, I choose You.
(Verse 2)
If I ask for blessings for my life,
While others are in need and strife,
Will my heart be truly satisfied,
Or will I feel a sense of guilt inside?
(Chorus)
Not My Will, but Thine be done,
Oh Lord, I surrender all to You.
Not my will, but Yours alone,
In every circumstance, I choose You.
(Bridge)
So I come to You with open hands,
And a heart that's willing to understand,
That Your ways are higher than my own,
And Your plans for my life are known.
(Chorus)
Not My Will, but Thine be done,
Oh Lord, I surrender all to You.
Not my will, but Yours alone,
In every circumstance, I choose You.
(Verse 3)
Your will is perfect and complete,
And Your love is boundless and sweet.
So I trust in You, my Savior true,
And I surrender to Your perfect will.
(Chorus)
Not My Will, but Thine be done,
Oh Lord, I surrender all to You.
Not my will, but Yours alone,
In every circumstance, I choose You.
(Outro)
In Your hands, I place my life,
Knowing that You're my guide and light.
So I will walk with faith and peace,
In the surrender of my will to Thee.
