I'm in Your dwelling place
As I wait
Singing in spite of the pain
Stand in Your grace
Embracing the dark of the night
This faded shore
The light of the morning will shine
I will endure
Oh to live is Christ
I cling to the hope of Your promise
For all of my days
And to die is gain
Of God this I'll carry my cross
This life is Yours
And Your love is mine
Fill me with Your delight
As I obey
Let me see all of Your glory
Lord as I pray
Give me unshakable joy
As I give You my life
Nothing can ever compare
You are my prize
Oh to live is Christ
I cling to the hope of Your promise
For all of my days
And to die is gain
Of God this I'll carry my cross
This life is Yours
And Your love is mine
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
Oh to live is Christ
I cling to the hope of Your promise
For all of my days
And to die is gain
Of God this I'll carry my cross
This life
Oh to live is Christ
I cling to the hope of Your promise
For all of my days
And to die is gain
Of God this I'll carry my cross
This life is Yours
And Your love
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
I have decided, yes, have decided
To follow Jesus for all of my days
