One Hope
Day after day
I sputter away
A failure at all that I’ve tried
Lost and alone
I’ve tried to atone
For choices that buckled my pride
Wishing to see
What life could be
If I could lose this pain i hide
I’ve found one hope
A new way to cope
With life’s unforgiving tide
I need you, Lord!
I call you Lord!
I want you, Lord, in my life!
I turn away
From life’s ballet
And look to you for my life!
I’ve felt a hole
A void in my soul
A darkness I can not erase
It seeks control
Of my every goal
Maiming what it cannot embrace
It suffers one fear
A light ever near
A faith created by grace
That sacrifice
Will ever suffice
Seeing me through this great race
I love you, Lord!
You are my Lord!
Please take hold of my life!
I kneel and pray
For this today!
Lord, I give you my life!
Patience and kindness, Christ brings me these things
Goodness and faithfulness He gives with no strings
Peace, joy and love thrive under His wings
What more could I ever need?
What more could I ever need?
How about forgiveness, and His mercy?
All that and grace!
Christ’s enduring grace!
The greatest gift of all!
His grace!
My worldly gains
Are now empty chains!
I ask you, Lord, into my life!
I say this now,
My solemn vow
I give you all of my life!
I love you, Lord!
You are my Lord!
Please take control of my life!
I kneel and pray
For this today!
Lord, I give you my life!
Lord, I give you my life, my life, oh yeah!
Lord, I give you my life!
