When I don't know what to do

One of the things that has been on my mind lately is the overwhelming feeling that I am completely at loss with what to do in my ministry and in personal situations for which I have no answers. Yesterday in prayer before our choir rehearsal, the words of this song that I've heard only a couple of times started to ring in my head and lifted my spirit. I hope that they are of encouragement to one of you.

One of the only things that I am sure of these days is that my job as a minister is to speak directly to people like me that have uncertainty looming in their lives. This is an especially important ministry in our city where everybody puts on the facade of having everything about their lives in order and nothing is wrong. The silent struggles with faith, finances, family, and the future are things that we as a society almost never admit to and so my hope is that this song will be of encouragement to you as it has been to me.

It is from Tommy Walker's "Breakthrough" album and here are the lyrics to it:

When I Don't Know What To Do

Tommy Walker WeMobile Music ©2005 CCLI #4556332

Verse 1

Lord I surrender all to Your strong and faithful hand

In everything I will give thanks to You

I'll just trust Your perfect plan

Chorus

When I don't know what to do

I'll lift my hands

When I don't know what to say

I'll speak Your praise

When I don't know where to go

I'll run to Your throne

When I don't know what to think

I'll stand on Your truth

When I don't know what to do

Verse 2

Lord I surrender all

Though I'll never understand

All the mysteries around me

I'll just trust your perfect plan

Bridge

As I bow my knee

Send Your perfect peace

Send Your perfect peace Lord

As I lift my hands

Let Your healing come

Let Your healing come to me
