Great song by itself, but when you read the context for its writing, it is even more meaningful.
I love the chorus.
Break my plans, shape my heart
Take my will to where You are
Move my mind through Your Word
‘Til all that I am lives to love You, Lord
Read more about the song as told by a former Romanian Missionary, Trevin Wax.
Break My Plans
The praise songs of a nation flowed from his hand
And in a world of dark oppression he made a stand
They told him to be silent, and led him away
Ten years was the sentence, a prisoner of faithAs he waited for God’s timing
Another winter chilled the air
And when he thought of his own family
He was filled with despair
So he cried out for justice, was there any other way
But then he gave it all to Jesus, as he began to prayBreak my plans, shape my heart
Take my will to where You are
Move my mind through Your Word
‘Til all that I am lives to love You, LordI know I’m called to suffer and take up my cross
But sometimes I grow so fearful when I count the cost
Still my heart wants to follow, and walk in Your ways
To be counted with the faithful,
Lord guide me today
With all my heart, my strength, and my soul I will love You, God
So use my life and take complete control.
