If I base my life on works, Lord
How much would be enough
To hear you say when I pass those gates
“Welcome home, my child – well done?”
If I base my life on keeping rules
Are you good with the first ten-
Or do I also have to follow
The ones made up by men?
I want to bring you joy, Lord
Your heart I long to please
So I’ll concentrate my whole life song
On daring to believe
I’ll believe when the sun is shining
And when the clouds roll in
I trust the One who died for me
To save me from my sin
I give my heart
I give my mind
I give my soul and strength
You give and you take away
And I sing “Blessed be your name”
But I can’t wait for heaven, Lord
To know that you are pleased
Open my ears and let me hear
You softly singing over me
“Then said they unto him, ‘What shall we do, that we might work the
works of God?’ Jesus answered and said unto them, “This is the work
of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6: 28-29 ( KJV )
