Declaration Of Dependence

Steven Curtis Chapman
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
And we sangâ"š¬
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
So I sayâ"š¬
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
