Why must I try to do things on my own?
Why must I lie to myself and always feel alone?
But God I know You’re there
You’ve been there all along
Continually I turn my head when I know You’re calling me
And how I don’t want to live my life on the other side of Your will.

Jesus, hold me, never let me go
Why do I do this to myself in spite of what I know
I just want to be your servant
I just want to go
In the light of Your love
So don’t ever let me go

Every morning I wake with so much on my mind
I’m really not that busy, but I do it all the time
He’s telling me to be still and know that He is God
But Lord answer my prayer
Why do I have to make this so hard
But I’m taking it all in stride
Lord I hand my life to You

Jesus, hold me, never let me go
Why do I do this to myself in spite of what I know
I just want to be your servant
I just want to go
In the light of Your love
So don’t ever let me go

I’m tired of being tired of locking up my heart
Of choosing my own will and always keeping us apart
So here it is I’m Yours
I’m falling into You
And I can’t wait to feel You begin
Do what You
I’m loving Your perfect way
And with every day You’re making me more like You, Lord

Jesus, hold me, never let me go
Why do I do this to myself in spite of what I know
I just want to be your servant
I just want to go
In the light of Your love
So don’t ever let me go

We have raised a thousand voices just to lift your holy name
And we will raise thousands more to sing of your beauty in this place
None can even fathom, No, not one define your worth
As we marvel in your presence to the ends of the earth

We give you glory, lifting up our hands and singing Holy,
You alone are Worthy,
We just want to touch your heart Lord, touch your heart
Glory, lifting up our voice and singing holy,
You alone are Worthy,
We just want to touch your heart Lord, touch your heart

As we fall down before you with our willing hearts we seek
In the greatness of your glory, it’s so hard to even speak
There is nothing we can offer, no nothing can repay
So we give all our praises, and lift our voice to sing

Our hope is drenched in you,
Our faith has been renewed
We trust in your every word
Nothing else can even measure up to you

Two little lines I heard one day
As I plodded on in my usual way;
And they rang in my ears again and again,
Repeating in solemn, sweet refrain:
“Only one life, ’twill soon be past;
Only what’s done for God will last”

 ”Only one life?” yes, only one;
Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Am I living this life for self alone?
At the Judgment Seat shall the truth be known.
“Only one life, ’twill soon be past;
Only what’s done for God will last”

“Only one life”…a few brief years,
Each with its burden of hopes and fears;
Each with its record of good and ill,
As I please myself, or obey His will.
“Only one life, ’twill soon be past;
Only what’s done for God will last”.

Give me, Father, a purpose deep
In joy or sorrow Thy trust to keep;
And so, through trouble, and care, and strife,
To glorify Thee in my daily life.
“Only one life, ’twill soon be past;
Only what’s done for God will last”.
