Fred Hammond – I Anoint Myself lyrics

One, two, three

I started out a long, long, long time ago
What my journey held,
Most things I did not know
But I was sure and believed the plan You gave
Was so secure inside of me

In latter days I found failure, *doubt,
And complacency came to pull me down
They wrestled deep inside of me,
Now the *past is gone
Staring me right in the face
Asking me if I am sure

Now when I need strength to endure
There's one thing that I can count on
To help me make it through
I anoint myself

I anoint myself, *bring my mind back in
Talk to the Father,
*Get the plan again
Keep in my heart what I gotta do
'Cause I'm here to serve you

My heart gets swayed, it's not too late
Before I waste another day
Kneel and pray
This is how I remind myself

Now my savior's *call,
It seems like I have it down
I've stood through it all,
*Yet fear still tries to come around
Trying to guarantee this day I'm going to fold
And the battle starts all over again

Now when I need to know for sure
There's one thing that I can count on
To help me make it through
I anoint myself

I anoint myself, bring my mind back in
Talk to the Father,
Get the plan again
Keep in my heart what I gotta do

'Cause I'm here to serve you
My heart gets swayed, it's not too late
Before I waste another day Kneel and pray
This is how I remind myself

Sometimes in this world, challenges come
And emotions get carried away
But in faith be strong and to His word hold on
And if doubt comes, gird up yourself
Stand there and say I remember

Sometimes I gotta remind myself
(I gotta remind myself)
What I've been called to do
Is first to be with you
Sometimes I gotta remember,
Sometimes I gotta remind myself
That you called me Lord,
Yes, you did and I'm at your disposal
Sometimes gotta remind myself
What I've been called to do Is first to be with you
Sometimes, I gotta remind myself (I’ve got to remember)
That you called me, called me
And I'm at your disposal, yeah

I anoint myself,
Bring my mind back in
Talk to the Father, yeah,
Get the plan again
Keep in my heart what I gotta do
'Cause I'm here to serve
My heart gets swayed, it's not too late
Before I waste another day
Kneel and pray
This is how I remind myself

Sometimes gotta remind myself
Sometimes gotta remind myself
Sometimes gotta remind myself that you called me,
I’ve been anointed to do what you called me to do
You called me And I'm at your disposal
