I AM MY OWN PERSON IS LIKE A SONG I WAS TAUGHT
TO DO WHAT I WANT WHEN AGAINST AUTHORITY I FOUGHT.
REBELLION IN A YOUNG LIFE COMES NATURALLY, YOU SEE.
IT WAS EASY TO CONQUER INHIBITIONS ONCE YOU TAUGHT IT TO ME.
DEEP ROOTED IN OUR HEART THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE
GOD IMPLANTED HIS WORD THE MOMENT OUR HEART GREW.
HIS INTENTION WAS FOR US TO FOLLOW HIS RULES AND GUIDELINES
WITH HUMBLE ADORATION FOR THE SON WHO IS DIVINE.
WHEN ONE WHO IS IN AUTHORITY TEACHES A YOUNG ONE TO STRAY
BE ASSURED GOD IS WATCHING, REBELLION IS NOT HIS WAY.
YOUNGSTERS FIND COMFORT IN AUTHORITY AND STRENGTH
BE ON GUARD FOR OUR ACTIONS TEACH VOLUMES AT LENGTH.
LINE UP YOUR ACTIONS INQUIRE IF THEY ARE GOOD
ASK GOD TO SAVE YOUR SOUL AND ACT AS HE WOULD.
WE ARE CALLED TO A HOLY LIFE THE BIBLE CAN TEACH
WE DO NEED A PASTOR TO GUIDE US WITH A GODLY SPEECH.
IF WE ARE NOT ROOTED DAILY IN GOD’S HOLY WORD
OUR PATH WILL LEAD US AWAY FROM THE HERD.
AMAZING WAS THE GRACE AND HOW SWEET WAS THE SOUND
WHEN I HEARD GOD CALLING, CHILD ARE YOU AROUND ?
LORD I HAVE MESSED UP AND CAUSED OTHERS TO SIN
TODAY I AM SORRY PLEASE LET ME IN.
MY CHILD I LOVE YOU ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE DONE WRONG
I WILL TAKE YOU AND KEEP YOU PLEASE CHANGE YOUR SONG.
IN STEAD OF REBELLION WHICH YOU TEACH WILLINGLY TODAY
DRAW YOURSELF NEAR TO ME AND HELP OTHERS TO OBEY
MY LAWS ARE SIMPLE UNDERSTANDING THEM IS YOUR CHORE
TEN COMMANDMENTS I GAVE YOU PLUS A FEW MORE
I AM MY OWN PERSON ROOTED IN GOD’S WORD
IF I FOLLOW THEM CLOSELY REBELLION WILL BE UNHEARD.
THEN I CAN TEACH THE LITTLE ONES WHO ARE IN MY CARE
HEAVEN IS A WONDERFUL PLACE , I WANT TO BE THERE.
SO GOD MY ACTIONS I NEED YOUR GUIDANCE DEAR LORD
TO WALK THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW, CAN I CLIMB ABOARD?
TEACH MY HEART A NEW SONG AND I WILL SING IT FOR YOU
I WILL TEACH IT TO OTHERS AND LEAD THEM TO YOU !!!
