Will cannot be quenched against its will. ~ Dante Alighieri

I tell you right now, I’m willing!!!
Just like Peter was willing
to confront the people as he warmed himself
at the fire while the master he swore to serve
was in trial…and Peter said he didn’t know him.

I tell you right now, I’m willing!!!
Just like Judas was willing to follow Jesus anywhere
but took a few coins and told them where and how
they could capture his master without a crowd
to get in the way.

I tell you right now, I’m willing!!!
Just like the rich young man who came to Jesus
and told him he’d done everything right
since he was a young child and asked what more
but turned away because Jesus asked
more than he could give up.

I tell you right now, I’m willing!!!
God, let it be the truth, and if I’m not
then make me willing and if I won’t be that
then make me willing to be willing.
Here I am, Lord, use me…I think…
