Can't we find a middle ground?

I have loved this song since I was in middle school. Still do.

“Whatever” by Steven Curtis Chapman
See video here.

I made a list, wrote down from A to Z
All the ways I thought that You could best use me
Told all my strengths and my abilitiesI formed a plan, it seemed to make good sense
I laid it out for You, so sure You’d be convinced
I made my case, presented my defense

But then I read the letter that You sent me
It said that all You really want from meIs just whatever, whatever You say
Whatever, I will obey
Whatever, Lord have Your way
‘Cause You are my God
Whatever

So strike a match, set fire to the list
Of all my good intentions, all my preconceived ideas
I want to do Your will no matter what it isGive me faith to follow where You lead me
Oh, Lord give me the courage and the strength

To do whatever, whatever You say
Whatever, I will obey
Whatever, Lord have Your way
‘Cause You are my God
WhateverI am not my own
(Whatever)
I am Yours and Yours alone
(Whatever)
You have bought me with Your blood
(Whatever)
Lord, to You and You alone do I belong
And so whatever

(Whatever)

Whatever, whatever You say
Whatever, I will obey
Whatever, Lord have Your way
‘Cause You are my God

So, whatever, whatever You say
Whatever, I will obey
Whatever, Lord have Your way
‘Cause You are my God
You are my God
You are my God
Whatever
