Verse 1:
In everything I do I want to honor You.
Wherever I go, I just want to know
That I’m there to honor You.
My heart has been so vile, and desperate all the while
To glorify my name. But now I feel ashamed. And I need a change in my heart.
Lord, I just don’t want to work for You with my own honor in view.
I dream my dreams, and then it seems I’ve run ahead of You.
Lord, take my heart, my pride and all. Help me take heed lest I fall.
Teach me to honor You.
Verse 2:
At times I get caught up in all the things I love.
My zeal can be so strong, and yet my motives wrong,
And I forget to honor Him.
But Christ takes me within, and shows my inner sin; revealing my mistake
So gently that I break, and I see I’m not what I thought.
You see, we need to work for Christ by taking one day at a time.
We find there’s beauty in our daily duties, when we do them with all our might.
It is our calling; we must be true. There’s nothing too small for us to do –
If it’s done to honor Him.
Verse 3:
The Lord is well pleased when we’re faithful in the least.
Our duties we embrace, no matter what our place.
We are called to honor Him.
Our characters grow strong as humbly we go on in singleness of heart, enjoying our part
In His plan, for His glory’s sake.
You see, the pattern for our lives is found in Jesus Christ.
Do you see the glory in the humble story of His self-denying life?
He humbly went on to carry His cross. When we do that for Him it’s not a loss
As we live to honor Him. We are honored to honor Him.
