[Chorus]
AmIf this Life has anything to gain at Call
I count it lost if I can't Ghear you, feel you, 'cause I Fneed you.
Can't Walk this Earth AlonAme.
I recognize I am not my Cown, so before I fall
I need to Ghear you, feel you, as I Flive to make my Gboast in you alone.
[Verse 1]
AmWith every breath I take, with every heart beat,
CSunrise and the moon lights in the dark street.
GEvery glance, every dance, every note of a song.
FIt's all a gift undeserved that I shouldn't have known.
AmEvery day that I lie, every moment I covet
CI'm deserving to die, I'm just earning your judgment.
GI, without the cross there's only condemnation.
FIf Jesus wasn't executed Gthere's no celebration.
AmSo in times that are good, in times that are bad
CFor any times that I've had it all I will be glad.
Gand I will boast in the cross. I boast in my pains.
FI will boast in the sonshine, boast in his reign.
AmWhat's my life if it's not praising you.
CAnother dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit. I do.
GThat count my life as any value or presence at all.
FLet me finish my race, Glet me answer my call.
[Chorus]
AmIf this Life has anything to gain at Call
I count it lost if I can't Ghear you, feel you, 'cause I Fneed you.
Can't Walk this Earth AlonAme.
I recognize I am not my Cown, so before I fall
I need to Ghear you, feel you, as I Flive to make my Gboast in you alone.
[Verse 2]
(same pattern as verse 1)
AmTomorrow's never promised, but it is we swear.
CThink we holding our own, just a fist full of air.
GGod has never been obligated to give us life.
FIf we fall for our rights, we be in hell tonight.
AmMere sinners own nothing but a fierce hand.
CWe never loved him we pushed away his pierced hands.
GI rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy.
FDying of thirst, yet, Gwilling to die thirsty.
AmEternally worthy, how could I live for less?
CPatiently you turn my heart away from selfishness.
GI volunteer for your sanctifying surgery.
FI know the spirits purging me of everything that's hurting me.
AmRemove the vale from my darkened eyes.
CSo now every morning I open your word and see the Son rise.
GI hope in nothin, boast in nothin, only in your suffering.
FI live to show your glory, Gdying to tell your story.
[Chorus]
AmIf this Life has anything to gain at Call
I count it lost if I can't Ghear you, feel you, 'cause I Fneed you.
Can't Walk this Earth AlonAme.
I recognize I am not my Cown, so before I fall
I need to Ghear you, feel you, as I Flive to make my Gboast in you alone.
[Bridge]
AmGlory was solely meant for you.
CDoing what no one else could do.
GWith All I have to give,(With all I have to Give)
FI'll use my life, I'll use my lips. (My Lips Yaaa)
IAm'll only glory in your Word. WChat gift to me I don't deserve.
GI'll live in such a way that it reflects to Fyou, my Praise.
[Chorus]
AmIf this Life has anything to gain at Call
I count it lost if I can't Ghear you, feel you, 'cause I Fneed you.
Can't Walk this Earth AlonAme.
I recognize I am not my Cown, so before I fall
I need to Ghear you, feel you, as I Flive to make my Gboast in you alone.

G F G

I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone.

[Verse 1]

With every breath I take, with every heart beat,

Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street.

Every glance, every dance, every note of a song.

It's all a gift undeserved that I shouldn't have known.

Every day that I lie, every moment I covet

I'm deserving to die, I'm just earning your judgment.

I, without the cross there's only condemnation.

F G

If Jesus wasn't executed there's no celebration.

So in times that are good, in times that are bad

For any times that I've had it all I will be glad.

and I will boast in the cross. I boast in my pains.

I will boast in the sonshine, boast in his reign.

What's my life if it's not praising you.

Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit. I do.

That count my life as any value or presence at all.

F G

Let me finish my race, let me answer my call.

[Chorus]

Am C

We never loved him we pushed away his pierced hands.

I rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy.

F G

Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty.

Eternally worthy, how could I live for less?

Patiently you turn my heart away from selfishness.

I volunteer for your sanctifying surgery.

I know the spirits purging me of everything that's hurting me.

Remove the vale from my darkened eyes.

So now every morning I open your word and see the Son rise.

I hope in nothin, boast in nothin, only in your suffering.

I live to show your glory, dying to tell your story.

Glory was solely meant for you.

Doing what no one else could do.

With All I have to give,(With all I have to Give)

I'll use my life, I'll use my lips. (My Lips Yaaa)

I'll only glory in your Word. What gift to me I don't deserve.
