Acts 20: 24

Alpha, Omega,

first and the last God of all things to be,

all things past

Do you see me sitting here with a paper and a pen

Contemplating my part in your plan

I know it’s much easier just to walk by

And on fate and destiny rely

When my place it seems too small

Let me hear your call

I know it’s much easier just to walk by

And on fate and destiny rely

When my place it seems too small

Let me hear you call

But, you don’t need me to give a new start

You don’t need me to change a man’s heart

You can use me in this life

You can use me how you’d like

You don’t need me to change a man’s heart

You can use me in this life

Your plans are much bigger than mine

 ‘cause I’ve held babies born

just moments before

Held a dying man’s hand

Who couldn’t hold on anymore

Yes, all of life’s places

They follow me on this earth here

You’re putting them together

The image is getting clearer

I know it’s much easier just to walk by

And on fate and destiny rely

When my place it seems too small

Let me hear your call

I know it’s much easier just to walk by

And on fate and destiny rely

When my place it seems too small

Let me hear you call

But, you don’t need me to give a new start

You don’t need me to change a man’s heart

You can use me in this life

You can use me how you’d like

You don’t need me to change a man’s heart

You can use me in this life

Your plans are much bigger than mine

I know it’s much easier just to walk by

And on fate and destiny rely

When my place it seems too small

Let me hear your call

I know it’s much easier just to walk by

And on fate and destiny rely

When my place it seems too small

Let me hear you call
