I Will Live
One might try to find meaning in life on his own
But we need our Redeemer; we can’t live alone
He gives comfort and healing, and silences strife
He gives clarity, meaning, and purpose to life
I will live
For Yeshua has raised me from chains and from death
He has given me everything: heartbeat and breath
And a mission He’s given and sent me to go
He has called me by name–could I answer Him “no”?
I will live
No, I’ll never give up and I’ll never let go
Though the going is tough and the progress is slow
And in days of distress I refuse to despair
I will cry to my El; He will answer me there
I will live
For my El didn’t lift me to let me fall down
And I haven’t been saved to let go of my crown
And I wasn’t redeemed to do nothing at all
I will cherish His word–never flee from His call
I will live
“Oh, but doomsday is coming quite soon!” one might say
“We must go; we must hide–there is no other way
That our lives shall be saved from this upcoming war.”
So he hides–doesn’t live–so then what’s his life for?
I will live
Life is not about safety–don’t hide in a shell
Life is meant to be lived; life has stories to tell
Life’s a gift from Yehovah–don’t waste it, my friend
Let’s live life to the fullest, from start until end
I will live
I will live for the One Who has called me His own
I will live by His side; I shall not live alone
I’ll give ear to His voice, for in Him, yes, I can
Do His purpose and will and complete all His plan
I will live
I will live in His power, His love, and His grace
I will hope for the day when I’ll stand face to face
With Yeshua, and Him I shall thank and adore
I will live in the presence of Yah evermore
I will live
