Alleluia, part 2

Make my life an alleluia,

a gift of love to you, my King.

I will join with all creation

in the song that the heavens sing!

The earth will turn, and the planets spin,

as the seasons ebb and flow; still,
Your grace surrounds me as I go.

Lord, make my life an alleluia.

 

Make my life an alleluia,

this off’ring of myself I give to You.

I will share
Your grace and mercy

for as long as I shall live.

When I come to my journey’s end,

may those left behind be reminded,

this has been my cry,
my song, my prayer:

Lord, make my life an alleluia.
~Ruth Elaine Schram,
vv. 2 and 3 of "Make My Life an Alleluia"

It’s one thing to sing it; it’s another to live it. But that’s why I pray that God would give me a deep desire to glory Him…and that I would indeed glorify Him with my life!
