May every moment of my life bring glory to Thy Name.
Oh, i surrender every want and love of worldly gain.
Oh cast me not aside as one who pants for worldly things,
but draw me close unto your side where thy great blessings springs.
don't forget in the race he gave strength for the run.
don't forget Jesus' care, don't forget answered prayer.
remember your Lord God Jehovah.
remember how much you were changed by His word.
don't turn him away,
he bids you to stay.
though gone be your song,
though weak or though strong,
stay where you belong,
at his side.
i know the plans i have for you,
for peace and not for sorrow.
i give to you a future and a hope.
i bind your broken heart,
i release you from captivity.
your ashes, i turn to beauty,
your mourning, the oil of joy.
your shame a crown of blessing,
and for your broken spirit,
i give to you a garment,
a garment of praise.
and you shall be a tree of righteousness,
a planting of our God.
a garment of praise i give to you,
for your broken fainting spirit,
the crown of blessing for your shame,
the oil of joy for your mourning,
your ashes i turn to beauty,
i release you from captivity.
i give you a garment of praise.
