Driven to Humility

 I am not a music person, so I am not up to date on all the newest and brightest christian singers. I mean, I didn't even know who Chris Tomlin was until I asked our worship pastor and he politely told me that half the songs we sing are written by him!  It was a shameful day, to say the least!  :)
But, there was a group called Watermark that I fell in love with during college.  They have since disbanded, but I still listen to their CDs when I get control of the car radio.  There is a song that is entitled Driven to Humility that I crank up and sing to like it was 1999. 
I was listening to it last night and let me tell you.  These lyrics are my prayer to God.  They are my heart's desire.  I tried to find it on You Tube so you could jam along to it, but it is not cool enough to have been put on there!  So, I pray that maybe the words will be enough to convey what my heart's prayer is. 
Oh, and if you ever want to borrow the CD or come rock out with me, just let me know!

Driven to Humility
I have been chosen to be driven to humility
To be wholly refined in Your Holy blaze of fire
And even when I'm sturdy, I pray You'll keep my knees dirty
May the heart of Your will be my only heart's desire

One thousand miles of road not taken
Sure I tremble, yet my faith will not be shaken
You're teaching me, You're in control
Sure the waves could knock me down but I say let 'em roll

I don't mean to boast about my tomorrows
But I'm resting in the man who knows my pain and all my sorrows

Well, Your kindness brought repentance
For the years of foolish pride
Sometimes You've got to knock me down
Just so I can see the light

I have been chosen to be driven to humility
To be wholly refined in Your Holy blaze of fire
And even when I'm sturdy, I pray You'll keep my knees dirty
May the heart of Your will be my only heart's desire

Oh wait, I found a link to listen to it.  http://new.music.yahoo.com/watermark/tracks/driven-to-humility--173460156   Enjoy!!
