Because You Gave Me Life
Because You Gave Me Life
“So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun.” Ecc 8:15 NIV
Because you gave me life
I will eternally be grateful
You gave me a chance—
To learn of your presence blissful
I know that life isn’t always
So easy to get through
But because you gave me birth
You’ll provide every breakthrough.
Because you gave me life
And formed me in the womb
Continually watch over me
Your love is my heirloom
When trials make my life difficult
I turn to you for power
To get through each trial
Hour by hour.
Because you gave me life
I will always praise you
For the opportunity to live
With service to you in view.
I’ll always depend on your power
From your Heavenly storeroom
Whilst my life on earth
Prepares me for the Bridegroom.
