What Will I Say If I Don'T Give God My Best

What Will I Say, If I Don’t Give God My Best?

What will I say…  If I don’t give God my best?
I have been found “guilty.”  This I will confess!

What will I say…  When I stand before God’s throne?
Have I allowed him to be the lord of my heart and home?

What will I say…  For the many sins I’ve committed.
Christ offers his blood to have them all “omitted.”

What will I say…  For this life I’ve been given?
I’ve had many chances to have my sins forgiven!

What will I say…  For rejecting God’s love and grace?
I’ve tried my best to remain in a “hiding place.”

What will I say…  When to God I give an account?
As the trials and pressures of life began to mount?

What will I say…  To a God who loves and cares?
During my life, I wanted God “out of there!”

What will I say…  That day when God calls my name?
For all I’ve done.  Will I bow my head in shame?

This I will say…  I’ve made a firm decision!
Living for God…  Is now going to be my daily mission!

This I’m going to say….  And I want it to be known!
I’m going to serve my Lord Jesus and him alone!

This I’m going to say…  And I wish you’d do it to!
I’m going to shout out loud;
 “Jesus I sure LOVE YOU!”

This I will say and have made my choice so clear!
My life has totally changed that day my sins disappeared!
