It's Not About What I Want

I want to raise the name of Jesus higher
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
I want to show the world God's Holy fire
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
It's not about what I want.

I want to buy some groceries for a widow
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
I want to wipe the tears of those who sorrow
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
It's not about what I want.

I'm thankful for my weakness for
I have nothing to prove.
I'm thankful for my helplessness.
God gets the chance to move.

See, it's all about the people, and
It's all about the lost.
It's all about their need to know
God's mercy at the cross.

I want to take the lonely out to dinner
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
I want to show forgiveness to a sinner
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
It's not about what I want.

I want to reach a world that has gone wild
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
I want to wrap my arms around a child
but my arms keep getting wrapped around myself.
It's not about what I want.

I'm thankful for my weakness for
I have nothing to prove.
I'm thankful for my helplessness.
God gets the chance to move.

See, it's all about the Savior, and
It's all about the plan.
It's all about His love for us.
For God became a man.
