LET ME LIVE

Words and music: Esther David

Intro: (C)

Verse One:
The (C)rocks and hills and streams cry out in (Em)honor to His name.
The (A)cattle on a thousands hills as(Dm)sist me to proclaim
The (G)glory of creation, but He (C)has no lips but (Am)mine
To (Dm)reach a soul, to tell him how to (G)know His love divine.

Chorus:
Oh (C)let me live just one more day in (Em)service to the King,
My (A)pride I lay before His feet, a (Dm)broken heart I bring;
Yet (G)happy, unbelieving He could (C)use a one like (Am)I,
A (Dm)slave of love, to share His shame, to (G)suffer and to die.

Verse Two:
Oh (C)God, I lay before You now a (Em)life of emptiness,
De(A)spising what I knew to be a (Dm)life of worldliness.
Trans(G)form me by Your power now, that (C)men might see in (Am)me
The (Dm)love You gave, forgiveness that can (G)set my brothers free.

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Three:
He (C)lay the world before my eyes, a (Em)cross lay at my feet,
And (A)as I knelt to lift it high, the (Dm)blood flowed through the streets,
And (G)piercing cries of emptiness, of (C)rust and cankered (Am)gold
Of a (Dm)twisted, desperate nation doomed to (G)see the wrath of God.

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Four:
As (C)down a long and narrow road, He (Em)leads me day by day.
I'll (A)give Him praise, Who gives me grace to (Dm)walk the Master's way.
I (G)have no love to give Him but (C)that He gave to (Am)me,
A (Dm)crown of life, prepared Above,
I'll (G)cast before His feet.

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

For (C)love.
