"Make my Life a prayer to You", as sung by Keith Green over 40 years ago, has been on my heart this afternoon/evening as I have been preparing special funeral services.
It is amazing when you have or have had people in your life who live or have lived their faith in God with both simplicity and with integrity. Thank you God!.
It makes me desire to reflect and in doing so, see the need to commit afresh to the source of my hope and the purpose for my life of loving God, I am always challenged by the need to express that love in how I both love and treat the people by my attitudes and in my willingness to live with a forgiving heart.
Keith Green's songs and ministry encouraged me in my early days of my accepting Jesus as my Lord and Saviour for myself as an adult in April 29th in 1979. I am grateful for my Sunday school days, being introduced to God.
I pray that my life we continue to be a living prayer to you. Amen
Make my life a prayer to You
I wanna do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers, no compromise
I wanna shine the light You gave
Through Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know
You're really there
Well, I wanna thank Ya now
For being patient with me
Oh, it's so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh, You're coming again
You're coming to take me away
I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope Ya gave to me, the love that set me free
I wanna tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God, the Son, You've risen from the dead
Oh, I wanna thank Ya now
For being patient with me (with me)
Oh, it's so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh, You're coming again (coming again)
You're coming to take me away
I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave to me
I wanna share the love
That set me free
