A Broken Will

I thought I had a broken will
Because I did not speak my mind.
But deep inside I murmured still
When my ideas were left behind.


I do not care, whatever you say,
I’ll get onto your plans today.
But deep inside my heart still said,
Why can’t I ever have my way?

And you call this a broken will?
Why it’s nothing but some self restraint.
If deep inside the heart says still
Why must I go without complaint?

A broken will, will gladly go,
thankful another plans the way.
Because the heart loves Jesus so,
It matters not the path today.

I’m thankful for a broken will,
It’s bringing me treasure life cannot dim.
His hand outstretched in mercy still
Will bring me safely home to Him.
