God's Got Me Right Where He Wants Me

by Rick Oraham  
3/18/2008 / Christian Living

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
