[Cmaj7] So many times He has shown me the way that is [Dm] best for me

But [CMaj7] time after time I've refused to obey cause I [Dm] didn't agree

It [Dm7] wasn't what I wanted to do it [Em] wasn't where I wanted to go

And [Am] so I did it my way ignoring what the Lord had to [G] say


[CMaj7] Don't ask me why cause I cannot explain why it [Dm] seems to be

We [CMaj7] could have the best but we settle for less it seems [Dm] strange indeed

The [Dm7] trust and the patience of man [Em] turns to excuses again

And [Am] so we do it our way ignoring what the Lord has to [G] say


We [CMaj7] struggle and argue as God tries to get through to [Dm] you and I

But [CMaj7] sooner or later the truth becomes greater than [Dm] we can hide

And the [Dm7] truth of the matter is this there's [Em] so much that you and I miss

[Am] When we do it our way ignoring what the Lord has to [G] say


So [CMaj7] tell me next time when He shows you the way that is [Dm] best for you

What will you [CMaj7] do what will you [Dm] choose?
