Make My Life a Living Sacrifice

Make My Life a Living Sacrifice

 

When Iím on my way on this brand new day

And the life all around me moves so fast

When I need release when I lose my peace

WhenÝ my motives get confused from first to last,

Iíll have faith in future grace and remember graces past.

 

Then its time to get down on my knees

To lay myself before you

Lord do as you please in my life

Thereís so many damned distractions

That can lead me to reactions

That wonít glorify your name

Take my life let it be so consecrated

Bless me Lord when I have waited

And make my life a living sacrifice.

 

When I wake each morn when a new dayís born

But the darkness in my sight is found in me

I will bless your name and confess your name

A new light will dawn andÝ the darkness will flee.

Youíll renew my mind and the truth I will see!

 

Itís always time to get down on my knees

To lay myself before you

Lord do as you please in my life

Thereís so many damned distractions

That can lead me to reactions

That wonít glorify your name

Take my life let it be so consecrated

Bless me Lord when I have waited

And make my life a living sacrifice.
