I Could Live Without You

I could live without You

I know I could get by

Millions of people do

Why couldn't I

I could live without You

Through the motions once again

Maybe even laugh and smile

Oblivious to sin

But why should I merely survive

Content with just being alive

The best life can offer

The world and its gold

Is nothing to the treasure of Your hold

I could live without You

But what would living be

Not a chance of escaping Hell

A dark eternity

Now I have the strength to say

Lord, I've seen life from both shores

Before I chose You, Jesus, You chose me

Now find me fully Yours
