“A Song of Praise” (#10)
O Lord, I pray that you would give unto me
The power and abilities to raise
Up your Name so holy
In a righteous life of praise.
To you alone, my Savior and Lord,
Will I give my everything,
And I will hold nothing back from You-
Not even the smallest belonging.
For you gave me all that I have,
And you gave even more
Upon the tree of Golgotha,
That I could have life all the more.
So can I refuse to give You back
The life that you shed to give,
And honor you in all I do?
In every situation that I live
I pray that You would be my strength
And my path and guide to my reward above;
So be with me always, my Heavenly Father,
And let my voice be to you as pleasing as the song of a dove.
