LIFE IS BUT A BREATH
Here today, then gone tomorrow
Many are the tests
I have known both joy and sorrow
But oh, let me shine for You
Every single day
Trusting in the word You’ve spoken
Obedience and faith
Walking in the way You’ve chosen
Oh, I wanna shine for You
Oh, I wanna shine for You
Let Your word be my guide
Let Your truth be my light
Let my heart be consumed
Let me live all for You
Let Your peace flow through me
Love and grace set me free
By Your power I’m renewed
I will live all for You
Work within my heart
Purify my deepest motives
Show me who You are
Draw me to a life of worship
Oh, I wanna shine for You
Jesus, Oh, I wanna be for You
