My Worship Revolution

While up in the mountains this past weekend, the different arts groups created something to share on the final morning.  I was grouped up with 2 others and we wrote a song.  Nineva is the title we came up with.  The idea: have you ever been in a place where you didn’t understand why God had you where he did, or perhaps you didn’t want to be there?  One of those seasons where you have stayed in a situation only because it seemed that God had you there, but you didn’t want to be?  It seems like most everyone has been there at some point, and that’s what we chose to write about.  We related it to Jonah and the idea of being sent somewhere you didn’t fully understand and maybe didn’t want to be, yet desiring to do God’s will.  What is or has been your Nineva?

Here’s the words as well as a recording from when we performed it on Monday morning.  the recording is bad, but it gives you the idea, and at least it’s somethin to hold on to.

Nineveh
lyrics by: Natalie Nicole Gilbert
music by: Collin Downing and Bobby Marchessault

V1
This wasn’t what I expected
Comfort became a foreign word
I don’t wanna let pride get in the way this time
But I’d rather wait another day

Ch
    I don’t want to be here
    I don’t want to do this
    They won’t listen anyway
    This isn’t worth my time
    Do you really want me in Nineveh?

V2
Just let me walk away, make my own way
Why do You care f the fig tree withers?
Don’t make me move, don’t make me speak
I’ll keep this to myself for someone more worthy

Br
What You want, not what I want
The right place isn’t easy, but I know You are with me
What You want, not what I want
The right words don’t come easy, but still You’ve brought me here
