Lyrics Take My Life - John Perry

And as I stand before your throne
I realise that my life is no more my own
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
And as the days go drifting by
I lift my eyes and raise my hands up to the sky
Oh Lord have mercy on me
Cos every step I take, every move I make, is in your eyes
And every tainted thought is no surprise

Take my life and let it be a captive for your kingdom
Building up the body of your Son
Let me be the man whose life, is poured upon your altar
Come Lord Jesus let your will be done

And as I gaze at higher ground
I marvel at the kind of grace and love I've found
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Cos greater love I'll never see, than the Son of God
Who put His life on line for me
Oh lord, have mercy on me
What my response should be, How can I pay you back
Weighs heavy on my mind
It's only worship worthy of you, that I can find

In your light we see light, in your life we see life
In your love we find comfort, in the shelter of your wings
Through my days I'll seek to find
All that you have on your mind
For this generations powerful part
In demonstrating all the father's heart

And when I stand before your throne, I hope my life will prove
I've served my God alone, Oh Lord, have mercy on me
And when I see the new Jerusalem, I'll know the praise
Exploding from my heart again, Oh Lord, have mercy on me
