Sanctify My Life

Where is the truth I'm supposed to be learning?

The lessons for which I am constantly yearning?

Seem meaningless today...

Where is the peace that's supposed to be mine?

It seems that turmoil takes its toll this time

Lord you seen so far away!

I think to when you walked this earth

You were wise and you could see

That day by day each day counts

Though you knew you had your own destiny.

And I draw strength when I realize

Your world wasn't so different than mine

'Your daily existance was sanctified

Though it wasn't filled with wonders or signs.

So I won't give up in pain and sorrow

Though it may be the same tomorrow

For i have a friend who understands

Who's gone before and knows life's demands

For in the living of your life you have shown

You sanctify this living of my own

Gove meaning to what you'd have me be

Sanctify my life now by living through me!
