For Him

So many years wasted living in sin
Not listening to my Master's voice within
Not realizing that life is all about Him
I was living day to day on a whim

Seeking my own fortune and fame
Forgetting whatever I do should be in His name
That it should be for His glory
And it should depict His story!

Father, forgive me for the choices I made
To follow this sinful world so frayed
What I learned from the consequences of my sin
Let me share with others herein

Let my life be a beacon of light
To shine for you in the darkness of night
Let my life be an open book for others to see
Your Holy Spirit living within me

Let me never return to the ways of this world
No matter what each moment may unfurl
I will walk in the way of my precious Lord
For He is my master, my shield, my sword

Whatever I do; wherever I go
Let others look at me and know
That I am your child through and through
And whatever I pursue; I do for you!
