Aim In Life

My life, I now do see, 
Is all in vain, but Thee, 
I wish to dedicate, 
My life for all eternity. 

I once did wonder why
I'd come to life and sighed, 
But now I know my task, is to 
Live for you and always fight.

I'd cry and cry to feel,
The sense of aim, so dear, 
But as I searched my soul, 
I knew that I was nowhere near.

But when thy presence came, 
I realized my aim, 
And did resolve to do
What pleased Thee rather than complain.

So now I do declare
That I shall always glare, 
And draw more souls to share
The pleasures of Thy kingdom, rare.
