New Songs

"Hallelujah! Sing a new song to Jehovah; Sing His praise in the congregation of His faithful ones." Psalms 149:1

Lord, I'd Waste Myself Upon You!

1 Lord, I'd waste my life upon You.
I count it not a waste at all!
Though others seem to think it strange,
My life I never would exchange.
You're the one of peerless worth,
The meaning of life on earth.

2 Pressing forward is my focus,
En-deav-or-ing to know You more!
In all the universe so vast,
The joys of earth are in contrast,
To the joy of knowing You,
The joy now of loving You.

3 Lord, I'd spend my life upon You.
There is no price too high to pay!
I count all things as loss and vain,
With no desire to obtain.
Lord, You are my goal and gain,
It's You I must now obtain.

4 As I sit, close at Your feet, Lord,
To Your-self and Your words I cling,
Distracting things? My eyes are blind,
My mind intent, my heart aligned,
And Your heart becomes my way,
What You think, and do, and say.

5 Lord, I'd pour my life out on You.
I count it not a waste at all!
Though others seem to think it strange,
My life I never would exchange.
You're the One of peerless worth,
The meaning of life on earth.

--J.G.
