And finds all grace forever to live in Your ways.
CHORUS
If I'm alive, I owe to you my life eternal,
My life is yours, my heart and soul, my breath as well;
Meanwhile you give me life, oh, Lord, this is my promise:
Over all things and my life I'll always love You.
2
Teach me to number all of the days of my existence,
That I may bring wisdom to my heart and my soul;
So when I'm through, and finish my journey in this life,
I could say I strived in the way, I kept the faith.
3
I do not fear what things may come in the near future,
With hope in You proceeding forward is my sight.
And if I live, I'm yours, oh, Lord, You are her'tage,
If I die in your arms I will find life in You.
4
Promise of love for your forgiveness I now offer,
Over all things and my life I'll always love you.
It does not matter if others can't understand me,
I know that you live in me and I live in You.

1 Peter 2.24 INTERCESSION/ Ps 119.17 SUPPLICATION
This life I've been given,
I know I owe it to Jesus my Lord,
I have been guarded in His holy love;
And by His pain He has delivered me.
CHORUS
Oh, Lord, keep me in your hand so mighty,
Remember me as I keep fighting on;
Uphold me in the name of your Beloved,
And I will walk in all your laws and ways.
2
Outrageous mistreatment, all the Lord had to bear for my sake,
All this to give us a much better life;
Thus He has shown us the depths of His love.
