We try to suck satisfaction from a broken cistern
We try to enter our home thru a broken gate
Never seeking the face of the fountain of grace
While desiring a drink that will your thirst satiate.
All to him I owe, all to him I owe
All I am and all I know- all to him I owe.
Our priviledge bridges duty and pleasure
His grace has afforded us priceless treasure
For God is most glorified
When in Him we're most satisfied,
Dead men do not negotiate,
Death's darkness could not be dispelled
When he broke into the grave with grace
He robbed the tomb of all it held
All to him I owe, all to him I owe
All I am and all I know- all to him I owe.
