Story Behind The Song
I was really worried about the future but I noticed I was using the line 'thy will be done' from the Our Father prayer as a mantra. I started singing the mantra then wrote the rest of the song around it.
Song Description
I'm always so worried about what is or isn't going to happen. I want to rush through the day only to worry at night about what will happen the next day. It's so hard to trust that I'm where I'm supposed to be and that things will happen when they're supposed to happen. It's so hard to find this trust. But if I keep trying to give things over to God, then I will be in the right place and doing the right things. There's a bigger picture that I don't see. Hopefully this song reminds me to see, trust and believe in that bigger plan.

Lyrics
Each morning a blank page to cover with memories
But the openness causes me worry
Some days I?d rather be reading than writing this book
Don?t know why I?m in such a hurry
To see the path, to know the way, to ruin the ending
It?s in this time I turn to you in this prayer that I?m sending
Chorus:
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I trust in the Father, Spirit and Son
Thy will, thy will be done
Each night when the darkness surrounds me with doubt
And the morning an uncertain phantom
Decisions I make today are lines on tomorrow?s face
Are they worthy enough for sanction
How can I tell, how can I know how many hours I waste
But if I?d trust and meet the world supported by faith
Chorus
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I trust in the Father, Spirit and Son
Thy will, thy will be done
Bridge
Waking up is a struggle
From being a slave
When you serve the commitments of day after day
Trust this hidden plan
I?m where I should be
Have faith that grace will guide and lead me
Chorus
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I trust in the Father, Spirit and Son
Thy will, thy will be done
