Lyrics
Precious Lord, I will glory in the cross you bore, your sacrafice of love for me.
My debt you paid on Calvary. I yield myself to you. Lord have your way in me and make me what you said that I should be.
I commit myself to serving you, to do the things that I should do. To satisfy the purpose of my life. Have your way in me.
refrain:
Lord I would see you as you are, my life reflecting you in every way.
Lord Jesus won' t you have your way in me.
And in fufullment of Your will, I offer up my life a sacrafice.
In praise to you for all you've done for me
I commit, I surrender all my ways to you.
l offer up my life to you and yield it unreservedly.
Reveal your life in me that all the world may see.
Lord Jesus I surrender all to thee.
Let your saving power be manifest that your heart may be truly blessed.
For you alone give meaning to my life. Have your way in me.
refrain:
Lord I would see you as you are, my life reflecting you in every way.
Lord Jesus won' t you have your way in me.
And in fufullment of Your will, I offer up my life a sacrafice.
In praise to you for all you've done for me.
Lord Jesus won't you have your way in me. Have your way in
