Lord
who
am I
that
you call my name
that
you love me
I
am but a man
sinfully
living
after
my kind
how
great you indeed must be
to
love me as you do
there
is nothing I have Lord
that
is not from you
all
that I possess
everything
that I do
is
all from you
you’ve
filled my life
with
joy and love
surely
I don’t deserve it
I
a
creature of your hand
standing
proud upon this ball
so
tiny next to you
how
could I dare lay claim
to
all that you have given
I
stand in awe, Lord
of
who you are
you
are crowned as king
by
the stars themselves
the
sun and the moon
are
mere candles in your sight
you
speak
and
the earth is silent
you
speak
and
things happen
yet
in all your greatness
have
you to forget me
the
smallest of all on earth
I
sing your praise falsely
far
too often
even
now I may not be true
to
what I write
my
life, great God
is
filled with sin
yet
you love me
I
am amazed
truly
you are God
almighty
over all the earth
if
I didn’t before
I
believe it now
you
are my God
over
all the king
I
am your servant
whatever
that may mean
the
humble praise I offer now
accept
it from my heart
not
as this pen can tell
only
in my heart
exist
the words to praise you
as
best this person can
whatever
service I can do
be
it small or large
I
am yours to command
accept
as you can
the
humble and imperfect devotion
of this man you made
and love
