If I Had My Way…

Fighting through the constant tears that fall from my broken heart as I watch my children fight battles that are too big for them…

Knowing God has such an incredible plan for their lives, but my mama heart can’t stop hurting as I watch the ways their strength has to grow…

Closing my eyes, I can see the victory they’ll hold as they look back on this plan that God has and the purpose they’ll feel deep in their hearts after waging through the storms.

Through those sleepless nights, this song found its way from my heart to my guitar… ❤️

If I had my way I would have saved Joseph the pit and the pain
I would erase all of the lies, the prison and shame
But then I would have stolen the leader God used, yes I would have swept away the rescue

If I had my way I would have saved the three Hebrew boys the flame
I’d break the chains and beg them to flee from the fire they faced that day
But then I would have stolen that moment that place where they met Jesus face to face

If I had my way I would have saved Esther the terror of being taken
Placed in a role, a servant queen I would have saved her world from being shaken
But then her story of courage would never be told
I would have erased what you need to know

If I had my way I would have saved Jesus the whip and the cross
The nails and the spear, the water and blood and if I’d had my way we would all be lost
I would have stolen redemption and the victory, the love that paid the cost

If I had my way, I’d somehow save you from the life you’re destined to live
I’d rescue you from the mountains ahead, instead of crossing that river I’d build a bridge
But then I’d steal the wisdom that comes with the fight, instead of the wrong I’d be hindering the right
I’d be taking all the strength that you need to win, I’d be stealing the gifts that God has to give

So instead of my way, I’m begging God for His way instead so you won’t be lost
I’m lifting you up, instead of pulling you out of the battles you’ll face, I’m just asking for grace
And for strength that you need, for the warrior you’ll be, I’m down on my knees. God have your way…
