He is my life

I was living my life

no care no concern

 for what was right

I was broken and hopeless

but I knew not my plight

I had everything I thought I wanted

in my hands

but then one day

all of a sudden

I caught a glimpse of grace

you see what I saw

I saw a perfect man

I saw a righteous man

He was living just to do good

just to bless a broken world

then I saw them take that man

lead Him up dark Calvary

and I saw them put the nails in His hands

when I saw that man 

hanging there

I thought why oh why 

when He does these miracles 

doth not away He fly

then something strange

for a sin stained race

He looked up from that cross and said 

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do

suddenly I knew

I saw my Saviour give His last breath 

to win a world back from death

so I fell down on my knees 

and cried out 

oh it should have been me

Jesus took my place

then suddenly I heard a voice behind me say

Why do you search for the living

here among the dead

look on my cross 

and know the love I give

there's nothing I 

did not give for you

so bear your cross with me

so I got up from my knees

now His yoke is easy 

His burden light

His lovingkindness is my delight

I live for Jesus

He is my life
