Lifelong




Lifelong

A life that is holy,
Lived every minute for You
My Lord, Jehovah Jirah:
You have provided
The strength, the answers, the hope
That I need.
This is my mission,
My lifelong commission,
To be holy.
Set apart for Your purpose alone.

A life that is holy,
Expressed every moment for You
My Lord, Jehovah Rapha:
You have healed
The shattered condition
That was me.
This is my mission,
My lifelong commission,
To be holy.
Set apart for Your purpose alone.

You’ve been with me each step of the way,
I follow Your trail,
You’ve gone ahead
And prepared this place for me.
But You never left me alone,
Not an instant, not a breath –
You’ve been over me, around me,
Beneath and beside me,
Always here, always near.

A life that is holy,
Intentional love from You
My Lord, Jehovah Shamma:
You are there
With building material, tools in Your hands.
This is my mission,
My lifelong commission,
To be holy.
Set apart for Your purpose alone.
