Backin out the driveway,
The rubber's hittin the road.
Instead of a bag or suitcase,
My cross is my load.
No more sliding in the ditch,
No hitting a brick wall,
I'm finally gonna make a change,
I'm giving it my all.
All my scars are in the past,
I'm leaving them behind.
They left me great lessons,
I will share with who I find.
God has worked miracles,
My heart was his tool.
He filled it with love and wisdom
After I was a selfish fool.
So now I enter the world,
But not for my own good.
I want to share the love of Jesus,
Just like His disciples would.
I want to make His presence known,
To all who I may meet.
I want to be a light in this world,
and be His hands and feet.
I want to give hope to the hopeless,
and love to every broken heart,
Claiming Jesus is the answer,
for everyone broken apart.
Lord, take my young aching heart,
Fill it with your purpose alone.
Protect it with confidence and bravery,
To not fear any word or stone.
Jesus use my big blue eyes,
Use my bright inviting smile,
I pray all I am be for your cause,
and my efforts be worth your while.
As I set out on this journey,
With a great adventure ahead,
I pray I’ll always remember,
A leader needs to be led.
I will continue to seek you always,
In the walk of faith of my own,
So when I glance upon the past,
I can see how much I’ve grown.
As my tires hit the pavement,
May my actions match what I speak,
My heart and mind shall agree,
With God’s strength I’m no longer weak.
I will finally live my life the way I’ve wanted,
The way I’ve learned since I was born,
The old me is gone, the new me is here,
I am no longer torn.
So if you see me on the road,
Now you will know,
That I am on a great mission,
And it is time to go!
