Be Where You Are
Words and music by Steve Maxon
With chords

VERSE ONE:

     When I don't know where You're leading
     When my wisdom seems so fleeting
     And my will begins competing -- with Your ways
     Remind me just where You are standing
     Outside both time and understanding
     And that the one thing You're demanding -- is my all

     You know the plans that I devise
     You are not fooled by my disguise
     For surely as the sparks will rise, all men will fall
     So when You formed the dust into
     The one who'd take Your breath from You,
     Was that the moment that You knew
     My face -- could You see this place?

     CHORUS:            

               Love -- amazing love -- cast out my fear
               Oh, I know as Your perfection comes, my imperfections disappear    
               And I am sure -- if we endure -- we'll reign, on bended knee
               For when we're low, it's then we know -- how great your grace must be
               Lord, please lead me
               Until I'm free
               Free to be -- where you are

VERSE TWO:

     What does man gain from his labor?
     Toil and envy of his neighbor
     While his life -- a fleeting vapor -- is here and gone
     And while the kings of earth conspire
     Plot to raise their own names higher
     All the Lord Himself requires is, "Ask of me."

     Father God who fashioned pleasure
     You give to us as we have measured
     And know our hearts are with our treasure, here on earth or in the sky
     For when we in Your sufferings share
     The Spirit testifies, declares,
     That the One who called us is prepared
     To run -- and greet his long lost son

     CHORUS:

               Love -- amazing love -- cast out my fear
               Oh, I know as Your perfection comes, my imperfections disappear     
               And as a child -- we knew -- as children know
               But now we're grown, and soon we'll know, as we are fully known
               Lord, please lead me
               Until I'm free
               Free to be -- where

               Your amazing love -- casts out my fear
               Oh, I know as Your perfection comes, my imperfections disappear       
               And I am sure -- if we endure -- we'll reign, on bended knee
               For when we're low, it's then we know -- how great your grace must be
               Lord, please lead me
               Until I'm . . . . . . . . free
               Free to be -- where you are

               Be where you are
               Be where you are
               Be where you are
