Make My Life a Prayer to You

I have recently "rediscovered" Keith Green's music. This song keeps standing out to me. I want my words to cease. I want my life to communicate praise and adoration to the One who has saved me, drawn me to Himself, and held me so carefully.

I have watched some of my friends "fall away" and I am no different from them . . . we were raised the same way. I am grateful for everything that God has brought into my life that has kept me at His feet . . . it is not because of what I have done but because of who He is.

LORD, make my life a prayer of praise to You.

Make my life a prayer to You
I want to do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I want to 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 want thank You now
For being patient with me
Oh its 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 to take me away

I want to die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free

I want to 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 and You've risen from the dead

Well I want thank You now
For being patient with me
Oh its 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 to take me away
