PUT ME IN MY PLACE
Lyrics and music by Gary ("Rick Robinson") Fearon

You've given me the things I need, my every dream fulfilled
Yet here am I, unsatisfied, and wanting greater still
For I can't hide the selfish pride that wants to claim it all
Lord, won't You come before I fall?

Put me in my place
A humble heart, full of faith
Give me peace that this world can't replace
Show me where to go
This is all I need to know
Help me run the race, fill the empty space
Put me in my place.

I never planned to be a man so taken with himself
I come down hard without regard to anybody else
For all the people I have hurt with a careless thought or a thoughtless word
Lord, help me live what I have learned

Put me in my place
A humble heart, full of faith
Give me peace that no one can replace
Show me where to go
This is all I need to know
Help me run the race, fill the empty space
Put me in my place.

Teach me to begin again and lead me by the hand
I will do all that I can
No, I don't need to know your plan, I wouldn't understand
But if there's a place for me
That's where I want to be

Put me in my place
With a humble heart, and a sense of grace
Give me peace and I will keep the pace
Show me where to go
This is all I need to know
Let me run Your race, 'til I can see Your face
Fill this empty space
Put me in my place.
