6. Let Me Live My Life for Him

1 Let me live my life each day
So that when my Savior calls,
I shall go with Him to stay
Where a shadow never falls.

Refrain:
Let me live my life for Him
While I tarry here below,
He will guide thru shadows dim
And will keep me safe, I know.

2 Let me live so all may see
That I serve the Savior, King,
Ev'ry where I want to be
Faithful, true, my tributes bring. [Refrain]

3 Let me live so when I'm gone
Other hands will serve Him, too,
Other feet may follow on
To that home beyond the blue. [Refrain]
