I Anoint Myself

One, two, three, uh

I started out a long, long, long time ago

What my journey held most things I did not know

But I was sure and believed the plan You gave

Was so secure inside of me

In latter days, I found failure down

And complacency came to pull me down

They wrestled deep inside of me

Now the passion's gone

Staring me right in the face

Asking me if I am sure

Now when I need strength to endure

There's one thing that I can count on

To help me make it through

I anoint myself

(I anoint myself, bring my mind back in) Yeah

(Talk to the Father, yeah, plan again)

Keep (Keep in the heart what I gotta do)

('Cause I'm here to serve you)

'Cause I'm here to serve you

(My heart is slain, it's not too late)

Before I waste (Before I waste another day)

(Kneel and pray) Kneel and pray

(This is how I remind myself, yeah-hey)

I remind myself

Now my Savior's gone, it seems like I have it down

I've stood through it all

Yet, fears still tries to come around

Trying to guarantee this day I'm gonna fold

And the battle starts all over again

Now what I need to know for sure

That the one thing I can count on

To help me make it through

I anoint myself

(I anoint myself, bring my mind back in)

(Talk to the Father, yeah, plan again)

Talk to the Father, yeah

(Keep in my heart what I gotta do)

Keep in my heart what I gotta do

('Cause I'm here to serve you)

'Cause I'm here to serve

If my heart gets away

(My heart is slain, it's not too late)

Before I waste another day

Kneel and pray

This is how I remind myself

Sometimes in this world, challenges come

And emotions get carried away

But in faith be strong, and to His word hold on

And if doubt comes, gird up yourself

Stand there and say I remember

(Sometimes gotta remind myself) Gotta remind myself

(What I've been called to do) What I've been called to do, yeah

(Is first to be with you)

Sometimes I gotta remember

Oh, yeah (Sometimes gotta remind myself)

That you called me, Lord (That you called me)

(Called me) Yes you did (And I'm at your disposal yeah, yeah)

Sometimes, yes I do, uh

(Sometimes gotta remind myself)

Can you help me, say

(What I've been called to do) What I've been called to do

(Is first to be with you)

How many of y'all know what I'm talking about sometimes

(Sometimes) Yeah (Gotta remind myself)

I gotta remember

(That you called me) You called me (Called me) Yeah

(And I'm at your disposal) Oh my, my

(I anoint myself, bring my mind back in)

(Talk to the Father, yeah, plan again)

(Keep in my heart what I gotta do)

('Cause I'm here to serve you)

My heart is slain, it's not too late

Before I waste another day

Kneel and pray

This is how I remind myself

Sometimes (Sometimes gotta remind myself)

Gotta remind myself, yes I do (Sometimes gotta remind myself)

I been anointed to do, what you called me to do

Got to have (Sometimes gotta remind myself) And I'm gonna stay right here

(That you called me, called me)

And I'm at your disposal (And I'm at your disposal)
