My Praise to God

My praise to you,

Oh Jesus King.

My thanks to you,

Oh Lord.

Joy and honour,

Glory and power,

In Heaven a treasure hoard.

Salt and light

I’ll be for you.

Of trust

You’ll have my all.

I’ll sit here waiting,

Longing and hoping,

Desperate for your call.

Little else

I bring to you.

In all else,

I fail.

Like fragile pottery

Left outside

In the belting hail.

And so I bring you

My whole heart,

Though little strength

And power.

Throughout my life I promise this:

I’ll serve you

Hour by hour.
