If you ask me to run, I"d give you a marathon
If you ask me to lift, I'd look like Arnold
If you ask me to go, I'll be at the airport in an hour
If you ask me to sing, my vocal chords will vibrate for you
If you ask me to dance,, my shoes will swing.
If you ask me to move on my deathbed, I'll force myself to my feet.
But if you ask me to wait, I sit restless
If you ask me to listen, ideas flood my head of what to say
If you ask me to let go, my hands get sticky
If you ask me to back away, I
If you ask me to be ok without, "what if's" become more possible.
If you ask me to just rest in your arms, my "to - do" list grows with a sense of urgency
If you ask me to stop, MY reasoning makes so much more sense.
If you ask me to live for you, I'll go tell the world.
If you ask me to die to myself, my life gains more value.
If you ask me to trust and leap, my feet will be in the air.
If you ask me to trust and wait, I'm at my blocks, tense, and waiting.
I grasp your strength like Sampson and David,
But I lack the patience and trust of Abraham and Noah.
Obeying is easy when I can go and do.
It's impossible when it's not to go and wait to do.
