Analysis of Sometimes I Sit And Wonder
Sometimes I sit and wonder
What it is you want me to do
I try so hard to listen
To directions coming from you
I want to serve daily
In the house of my Lord
To help those on the other side
Hear His sacred word
Oh dear Lord
Hear my special plea
Let me get this going
So I can serve thee
