Stamp of Approval

George Pendergrass / Robert C. Guy

Spoken:
You know it's been a while since I've stopped
To take a long hard look at my life
When I finally did I began to notice
That too many pieces of the puzzle just didn't fit
There was a melody playing in my life
But the words were all wrong
Somewhere along the road
I took my eyes off the map
And started depending on others who've
Traveled this road
Casually assuming somebody else could tell me
What I needed to know
Lord, it's hard to travel when you've got the
Wrong directions
And it's a never-ending journey
When you're seeking the approval of your life
Through other men's eyes
But Lord, you put all the pieces together
And the road is so much smoother
Simply because
Chorus:
You put the stamp of approval
In (my) my heart
My heart, my heart
Repeat Chorus
Where am I going
How will I get there
Doing things my way
Has got me nowhere
Sometime I'm lonely
But I'm never alone
When will I learn
I can't do it on my own
I'm searching for love and approval
Everyone in every way
But I fret and I worry
What the people say
Oh does it really matter
What the people say
And I can't control what they're thinkin' anyway, no
But right here and right now
I choose to believe that God loves me
Some way, somehow
He will set me free
Then I'll be living, living a new life
Happy and peaceful, and free from strife
But you my sister and my brother
Are you looking for someone to love you
The world won't, but God will
And His love is so true
Oh don't you believe it
When they say that you're nothing
God made the whole world
To give you everything
Repeat Chorus
I'm taking my life, taking hold
But to Him I'm releasing control
My every need and my every desire
To the Lord I have secretly told
My destiny here is secure
There's a spark in my heart
I know that the grace and the joy
Comes from the Lord
Repeat Chorus
You put the stamp of approval
In my heart
Scriptural Reference:
"'Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.' Then they asked him, 'What must we do to do the works God requires?' Jesus answered, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.'" John 6:27-29
"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men." Romans 14:17-18
