LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO BE LUKEWARM,
This is I know, this I know.
Jesus You can have it all,
My every breath, my every breath.
I need Your power to live this life,
This I know, this I know.
I can’t do this by myself,
You’re Christ in me,
My only hope, my only hope
As I walk this broken world,
Tune my life to heaven’s song,
For I am Yours.
And when all is said and done,
Tune my life to heaven’s song,
Forevermore.
Matt Redman
