YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE
A Saviour to my soul
You set a hope within this heart of mine
You said that I am Yours
That You will never leave me
Now I surrender all I am to You
I will never know why You chose me, God
But You did
I will never know why You took that cross
But You did, yes, You did
While today is still today
I’ll live just for Your praise
A living sacrifice
Holding out to be
Faithful unto You
So in my life be glorified, I pray
In You, O Lord, I trust
In You, O Lord, I live
Do not let me stray from Your commands
Guide me in Your way
Protect me in Your truth
Teach me what it means to follow You
Tim Hughes
