Now just the other day I overheard a flower talking to the sky He said you know that I would be nothing without You, oh, oh He said you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine Youâ"š¬â"ž¢re everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh And then the flower started singing a song Before I knew it I was singing along
This is my declaration of dependence This is my declaration of my need This is my declaration of dependence On the one who gave His life to me
Now, let me say that Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself Donâ"š¬â"ž¢t want to ask for help, donâ"š¬â"ž¢t like to stop for directions, oh, oh But in reality Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m nothing on my own Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s by Godâ"š¬â"ž¢s grace alone that I can make this confession All that I am and all Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m hoping to be Is all and only what Heâ"š¬â"ž¢s given to me
And I know this is how my life was meant to be I was made for this dependency On the one who has created me So Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll sing my declaration song For the one I am depending on And I hope youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll sing along More from Steven Curtis Chapman
