God's Got Me Right Where He Wants Me
by Rick Oraham God's got me exactly right where He wants me No matter how hard at times it is for me to see The blessings He gives, He sometimes takes away To see if we'll stay near to Him or stray for away In times we have less or that are filled with all kinds of stress It's funny, for it's He we get mad at, we blame Him for these tests What He knows we need in order to succeed We take it for granted, figuring we've got all that we need Forgetting how good that we actually have it Doesn't make sense until you find yourself reaching out just to grab it But now it's gone far, far away Just one more consequence that I have to pay "Why is this happening?" or "Why am I here?" What's weird is these answers to His heart He holds dear That I matter to Him, that He wants to be close I can't seem to grasp; it's my sin and shame that I cannot dispose Although sometimes I try, I still can't forget I guess I haven't figured out how much He loves me just yet The things we do that He doesn't condone Yet still he is faithful and He calls us His own The salvation that sometimes we try to earn "Don't beat yourself up, son. Tell me when will you learn? Eternal life is a gift; you can't ever earn it nor lose it So get up off your feet now and go out and prove it Life should be different from now on you see For soon you'll be up here with Me for eternity Don't ever give up or lose any hope For each trouble you face I'll give you the strength to cope Rick Oraham ([email protected]), a greatful, recovering addict who is a born-again Believer in Jesus Christ.
