02 May The Words Of My Mouth
Tim Hughes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

May the words of my mouth
And the thoughts of my heart
Bless Your name, bless Your name, Jesus
And the deeds of the day
And the truth in my ways
Speak of You, speak of You, Jesus

For this is what I'm glad to do

It's time to live a life of love that pleases You
And I will give my all to You
Surrender everything I have and follow You
I'll follow You

Lord, will You be my vision,
Lord, will You be my guide
Be my hope, be my light and the way
And I'll look not for riches,
Nor praises on earth
Only You'll be the first of my heart

I will follow, I will follow, I will follow You
