I Anoint Myself Lyrics - Fred Hammond

One, two, three 

I started out a long, long, long time ago 

But 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 down 

And complacency came to pull me down 

They wrestled deep inside of me, now the passion's 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 

And talk to the Father, yeah, plan again 

Keep the love, that I gotta do 

Cause I'm here to serve You 

My heart it says, it's not too late 

Before I waste another day 

Kneel and pray 

This is how I remind myself 

Now my savior's gone, it seems like I have it down 

I've stood through it all, it feels still to rise and come around 

Trying to guarantee this day I'm going forward 

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 

And talk to the Father, yeah, plan again 

Keep in my heart what I gotta do 

Cause I'm here to serve You 

My heart it says, 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 when if doubt comes, guard up yourself 

Stand there and say I remember 

Sometimes gotta remind myself 

What I've been called to do 

Is first to be with you 

Sometimes I gotta remember, oh yeah 

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, gotta remind myself 

That you called me, called me 

And I'm at your disposal 

I anoint myself, bring my mind back 

And talk to the Father, yeah, plan again 

Keep in my heart what I gotta do 

Cause I'm here to serve You 

My heart it says, 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, called me 

And I'm at your disposal
