Lyrics

RIGHT WHERE I AM
(John Tracy Publishing, ASCAP)

I?ve been contemplating my purpose in life
How I fit in God?s plan
Sometimes living each day in the nine to five
Is more than I can stand
But I?ve got to stop being defeated
After all I?m only a man
Deep down I know the place I?m needed is here - right where I am

Right where I am
That?s where I need to be
Not wishing I was somewhere else
God has yet to lead
He says here and now
I?m running out for glory
Before He sets the stage
I?m rushing into the story
Before it?s time to turn the page
He wants me right where I am
Right where I am

I stop and think of all my blessings in life
The true measure of wealth
Adorable children, a marvelous wife
I love them more than life itself
When I chase after an illusion
And dreams that might have been
I always come back to the same conclusion
It?s right where I am

Right where I am
Now feels good for me
I commit to God?s own will
Trusting Him to lead
He has it all worked out
I?ll run the race He?s given
Rendering all my heart
But if I want the blue ribbon
Here?s where I start
Right where I am
Right where I am

Through the years, Lord, I can see, You always had your hand on me
Shaping me into your plan, guiding each step with faith
Helping me make it each day
