Where is True Life found?
Is life found
In the rushing rivers
Of our daily tasks?
Or is it found
In making gods
Of evil pleasures that will never last?
Is life found
In consuming our minds
With the unending troubles and trials of this world?
And is life found
In keeping our minds bound
To fear, anxiety, bitterness
Regret and every sin?
Every sin that we try to conquer
But never seem to win?
Is life found in anything
My flesh desires?
Anything of this world?
No, because I am a citizen of heaven
I am a child of Jesus Christ
Who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life
If He is Life
Nothing else can be! Can't you see?
This world is full of empty promises
My flesh is an enemy of Christ and desires death
My very own heart deceives me
Purify me Oh Lord!
And help me to see
In You alone is
The Garden of Life
Where flowers of joy and strength are forever found
I dance in vast unending fields of hope
You lay me down beside
Quiet streams of peace
Your very presence restores me
In You and You alone I am made complete
Joy everlasting is mine
Peace everlasting I keep
With You by my side
I have no fear of the future
No terror can ever shake me
I conquer every battle
You are my solid rock
My everlasting hope
My protection and my shield
Thank you Lord for giving me Life!
With blinded eyes I would have
Remained searching in this world
But You rescued me
Thank you Lord for giving me Life!
You are The Source of Life
Nowhere else can it be found
Thank You Lord for giving me Life
I am no longer afraid
I have no fear
The emptiness of this world
Will never keep me bound
