Let the word of Christ my Savior
Dwell in me today
May His goodness be reflected
In all I do and say
Let the wisdom of my Father
Be the light upon my way
May His Spirit always guide me
I am willing to obey
Let the love of Jesus fill me
Like water fills the sea
Let my whole life be a mirror
Of the mercy shown to me
Let the peace of God my Father
Rule in everything
That I might learn to trust Him
In joy or sorrowing
Oh, this is my prayer to the King
He's worthy of glory, the best that I can bring
Oh, this is my prayer to the King
My life for His glory, my call and my creed
This is my prayer to the King
May I run the race before me
Strong until the end
I will keep my eyes on Jesus
And run the race to win
May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek to win the lost
May I be a faithful servant to
The message of the Cross
Oh, this is my prayer to the King
He's worthy of glory, the best that I can bring
Oh, this is my prayer to the King
My life for His glory, my call and my creed
Oh, this is my prayer to the King
You're worthy of glory, the best that I can bring
Oh, this is my prayer to the King
My life for Your glory, my call and my creed
This is my prayer to the King
Oh, this is my prayer to the King
This is my prayer to the King
This is my prayer to the King
My life for His glory
My life for His glory
My life for His glory
My life for His glory
My life for Your glory
My life for Your glory
My life for Your glory
My life for Your glory
Oh, oh, oh, oh
May I run the race before me
Strong until the end
I will keep my eyes on Jesus
And run the race to win
May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek to win the lost
May I be a faithful servant to
The message of the Cross
May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek to win the lost
May I be a faithful servant to
The message of the Cross
