Let me live…
- Lord, I would love to preach,
- To tell the world the words of salvation.
- To proclaim the love and the life of Jesus
- To stand and declare His glory in the grand stands of the world
- To shout the sounds of salvation around the globe.
- But above all, let me live the life that I preach to others.
- Lord, what a privilege it is to teach and instruct others
- To reveal the revelations of your Word
- To enlighten the minds of the little ones
- To stand on crossroads and point the path to the cross
- To guide and lead men into meaningful life
- But above all, let me live the life that I teach others
- Lord, I love to sing the Lord’s song in this strange land
- To shout about the showers of blessing
- To resonate the sounds of joy and salvation
- To reverberate the theme of redemption and restoration
- To sing about your great faithfulness in the midst of my unfaithfulness
- But above all, let me live the life that I sing about
- Lord, I know that knowledge is precious to you
- I might not have read all the directives found in the Great book
- I might be ignorant of some important information
- I might only understand just a part of the puzzle of life
- I might not have the wisdom of the eastern wise man
- But Lord, let me live the life based on the little that I know
- Let me live the life…
- Let me live it in my home, at work, in the street and wherever I might be
- Let me live it when I am alone and when surrounded by multitudes
- Let me live it before my children so they might know the Father above
- Let me live it before my wife so she could know the Man of Calvary
- Let me live it before my friends so they could know a better Friend
- Let me live it before my colleagues so they could know the Cornerstone of life
- Let me live it before strangers so that they might desire to know my Redeemer
- Lord, let me live the life!
- When I have said and done all,
- and I lay and wait in that cold grave,
- let be written in invisible words
- “Here lies a man who lived the life that was worth living!”
