I Live to Worship You
To worship you, God
I live to worship you
In spirit and in truth
I live to lift you high
In love and adoration
I live to love you fully
Convinced of your love for me
Eternally encompassed
In grace that surpasses
Beyond my comprehension
The truth of your word speaks
Volumes to my soul
Are added in love.
Strengthen my hands and feet, oh Lord.
Strengthen my fingers and ankles.
I shall not stay put, but praise you.
In care you carried me so long
I had no idea I was broken.
Stomped on until I was lame like a puppet
Destroyed by a jealous child.
But cradled in your arms I already
Feel your healing power
Willing to be your vessel
To tell your stories.
All the while anticipating
Turning into a real
Sun of the Most High God.
A star so brightly shining in the darkness expanding—
Broken into a pulsar that
Vocalizes your praises with a
Fervency and unashamedness.
The darkness around is not stifling
Nor filled with angry eyes toward my brightness
If they are, it’s none of my business.
For all I need to know is
A pulsar that stands in darkness
Is alone with you in the darkness of her room.
You are the only God who lives.
Righteously claiming me, saying that
I am yours.
To worship you, God
I live to worship you
In spirit and in truth
I live to lift you high
In love and adoration
I live to love you fully
Convinced of your love for me
Eternally encompassed.
