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.

                         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.
