| Text: | I Want To Live |
| Author: | Mrs. L. S. Skinner |
| Tune: | [I want to live each day, O Lord] |
| Composer: | Pat H. Baxter |
1 I want to live each day, O Lord,
A life that's good and true;
I want to walk the holy way,
As Christians all should do.
Refrain:
And when at last, in heaven's land,
The crown of life I wear,
I will be glad I lived for Thee
In this old world of care.
2 I feel the need of Thee, dear Lord,
When I am weak and lone;
I could not take another step,
Except Thou lead me on. [Refrain]
3 I put my trust in Thee, O Lord,
For all the things I need;
By faith I take Thy word as guide,
And walk where Thou shalt lead. [Refrain]
