You know I want to live my life
To Your glory and Your praise
Lord Jesus how I need Your grace
Lord Jesus how I need Your grace
Lord Jesus how I need Your grace
You know I want to live my life
To Your glory and Your praise
Lord Jesus how I need Your grace
Grace for repentance grace to forgive
Grace to know my need of You
And grace to freely give
Grace to know my blindness
Grace to see the way
Grace to hear Your still small voice
And grace to obey
Lord Jesus fill me with Your grace
Lord Jesus fill me with Your grace
You know I want to live my life
To Your glory and Your praise
Lord Jesus fill me with Your grace
Grace for climbing mountains
Grace to suffer pain
Grace for when I fall down
And grace to stand again
Grace to serve Your body
Grace to reach the lost
Grace to live a life of faith
And grace to embrace the cross
Lord Jesus I receive Your grace
Lord Jesus I receive Your grace
You know I want to live my life
To Your glory and Your praise
Lord Jesus I receive Your grace
Grace for me to follow
Grace for me to lead
Grace to reap a harvest
And grace for sowing seed
Grace in all my weakness
Grace to overcome
Grace to live a life of faith
And grace to lead me home
Lord Jesus thank You for Your grace
Lord Jesus thank You for Your grace
You know I want to live my life
To Your glory and Your praise
Lord Jesus thank You for Your grace
