Live to Worship
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
T o you my King I’m singing praise
O n this your great and glorious day
D on’t blot me out or break my jaw
A nd I can sing your praise to all
Y our mercy and your kindness true
I want to live to worship you
A nd after this I’ll need no more
M y strength, my joy forever more
F ind faith in me and life restore
R ighteous now and forever yours
E very move I make now in your steps
E very breath I take by you is blessed
