(Now Lord what can I do for you)
|
[ Nat ]
|
In a land where there's freedom to worship
|
It was there that beauty creates that I should be born
|
You gave me the breath of life and let me see the light of dawn
|
And you gave me a father and a mother
|
Who have stood in the breach for me through all of my shortcomings
|
You did this when you might have turned away from the hard store
|
To cause your spirit to strife no more
|
[ Both ]
|
Now Lord what can I do for you
|
[ Nat ]
|
Through the weary swift years of childhood till I was a man I rejected your call
|
Knowing that you gave your only begotten son to plea
|
At to die on the cross at calvary that I might have eternal life
|
And since that day long ago when with tender mercy you saved my soul
|
I've never called out your name except when I was in trouble sorrow and pain
|
Yet you have showered me with blessings even though I drifted away and grew cold
|
[ Both ]
|
Now Lord what can I do for you
|
[ Nat ]
|
It's true I've been wild pleasured that I'm willing to surrender all
|
And now my life is mostly spent yet tonight you restored my soul
|
You gave me a loving wife and the family of my own
|
And I brought them shame my sins have caused them grief and pain I'm told
|
But they loved and believed in me when I know to them it seemed in vain
|
Yes you are a mercyful God to take me back again
|
[ Both ]
|
Now Lord what can I do for you
