I made a list, wrote down from a to z
All the ways I thought that you could best use me
Told all my strengths and my abilities
I formed a plan it seemed to make good sense
I laid it out for you so sure you'd be convinced
I made my case, presented my defense
But then I read the letter that you sent me
It said that all you really want me from me is just
Whatever, whatever you say
Whatever, I will obey
Whatever, lord, have your way
'cause you are my god, whatever
So strike a match, set fire to the list
Of all my good intentions, all my preconceived ideas
I want to do your will no matter what it is
Give me faith to follow where you lead me
Oh, lord, give me the courage and the strength
[Repeat chorus]
I am not my own
I am yours and yours alone
You have bought me with your blood
Lord, to you and you alone do I belong
And so whatever
[Repeat chorus]
