i made a list wrote down from a to z
all the ways i thought that you could best use me
told all my strengths and my abilities
i formed a plan it seemed to make good sense
i laid it out for you so sure you'd be convinced
i made my case presented my defense
but then i read the letter that you sent me
it said that all you really want from me is just

whatever whatever you say
whatever i will obey
whatever lord have your way
'cause you are my god whatever

so strike a match set fire to the list
of all my good intentions all my preconceived ideas
i want to do your will no matter what it is
give me faith to follow where you lead me
oh lord give me the courage and the strength to do

i am not my own
i am yours and yours alone
you have bought me with your blood
lord to you and you alone do i belong
and so whatever
