Carla

I still remember the fire that started

When I was just twelve years old

You whispered, "Carla, I give you a purpose"

A story of grace to be told

I laid down my fears and I gave You my future

To follow the sound of Your voice

You gave me a wisdom that wasn't my own

And made me a vessel of choice

I will trust You, Lord, with all my heart

In the quiet moments and the hardest part

I won't lean on the things that my own mind knows

I will follow the Spirit wherever He goes

In all of my ways, I surrender my will

Make my paths straight, let my spirit be still

From teaching the Bible to kids in the room

To preaching Your hope on the street

Bringing the gospel to those who are homeless

And laying my life at Your feet

Through the doors of the church and the television screen

I've carried the light of Your truth

A prophetic heart that is caring and loving

Still holding the faith of my youth

I will trust You, Lord, with all my heart

In the quiet moments and the hardest part

I won't lean on the things that my own mind knows

I will follow the Spirit wherever He goes

In all of my ways, I surrender my will

Make my paths straight, let my spirit be still

You made me faithful, You taught me to care

To love on the broken and meet them right there

With a prophetic spirit, I'm listening close

To the voice of the Father, the One I love most

I don't need to see every turn in the road

I just need Your presence to carry the load

So I trust You, Lord, with all of my heart

In the quiet moments and the hardest part

I won't lean on the things that my own mind knows

I will follow the Spirit wherever He goes

In all of my ways, I surrender my will

Make my paths straight, let my spirit be still

Make my paths straight, let my spirit be still
