This Life Is Yours

The life we have been given has been given to us by God. We were created to honor and glorify God; not to glorify ourselves in what we have done. I think that we are too concerned with what we can get out of life for ourselves; that we miss the blessings that God has in store for us. I gave my life to Christ at an early age, but I have grown over the years and through it all I know my Savior so much better. I lay my life before God, as I will lay any crowns that I receive before my Savior. 

This is not my home
(this is not my space)
this is not my style
(this is not my place)

Can't get comfortable
(can't get settled in)
I simply don't belong
(can't get used to this)

But I'm here right now
(I can hear You say)
make the most of Me
(this won't go to waste)
If I'm out of my mind
(yeah its all for Christ)
if I'm making sense
(then get it right)

every moment is a chance to
let Your light break through

this life (oh oh oh )
this life was meant to shine
this life (oh oh oh )
this life was meant to shine

I don't have to stall
(I don't have to wait)
don't have to bide my time
(till I make my escape)
cuz heavens in my heart
(I won't settle for less)
I will lift Your name
(by the life I live)

every moment is a chance to
let Your light break through

this life (oh oh oh)
this life was meant to shine
this life (oh oh oh)
this life was meant to shine

its in my heart
its in my soul
I'll live everyday
just to make You known

Cuz this life (oh oh oh)
this life was meant to
meant to shine

Hold your heads up high
this is our moment to rise
we were meant to shine
not just survive

 
Hold your heads up high
this is our moment to rise
we were meant to shine
not just survive

Hold your heads up high
this is our moment to rise
we were meant to shine

This life (oh oh oh)
this life was meant to shine
this life (oh oh oh)
this life was meant to shine

Its in my heart
its in my soul
I'll live everyday
just to make You known

Cuz this life (oh oh oh)
this life was meant to
meant to shine

Its in my heart
its in my soul
I'll live everyday
just to make You known

Cuz this life (oh oh oh)
this life was meant to
meant to shine
oh oh oh
