Not to win, not to fight, not for profit, or to prove that I'm right, not for show,
no facade.
Sackcloth and ashes alone aren't accepted by God.
But to give, and unlock the doors, to take from my hand, and to place it in
yours, to break every yoke, to cut loose the chains, to give clothes to the naked,
and a roof from the rain.
Not to steal, or demand what is due, not to lie, and pretend that it's true,
not to do, or to speak as I please, not to harden my heart to the dying,
and to live at my ease.
But to give you my life, without keeping apart, to return to my God, and repent
with my heart, to throw open the door, to the one locked outside, and to worship
the King, without falseness or pride.
And your light will rise, and break through like the sun, and your
righteousness shine, when obedience is done.
Guarded by God, led forth by the Lamb, when you cry with your voice, He will say,
Here I am!
Not to win, not to fight, not for profit, or to prove that I'm right, not for show,
no facade, sackcloth and ashes alone, aren't accepted by God.
