Keith Green - Make My Life a Prayer to You

This song (prayer) was written by a young man who died at only twenty eight. His words are a challenge to me. Adrian was only twenty three. It is true we should learn to number our days: seize each one, living it the best we can for God - as if its our last. It isn't the quantity of days that are so important but the quality. Stephen died a young man as did his Master Jesus. May we all make this prayer our own.

Make my life a prayer to you
I wanna do what you want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I wanna shine the light you gave
Thru your son you sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know you’re really there

Chorus
Well I wanna thank you now
For being patient with me
Oh it’s so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I’ll have to trust
And just believe what you say
Oh you’re coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free

I wanna tell the world out there
You’re not some fable or fairy tale
That I’ve made up inside my head
You’re God the son and you’ve risen from the dead

Chorus

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free
