here
I am
a
man
proud
life
resting
in my hands
yesterdays
like
a crown of jewels
resting
on my brow
tomorrows
untold joys
hopes
that light my eyes
every
thing I touch
brings
me such joy
every
move I make
God
has blessed
every
friend I have
a
treasure beyond price
great
Lord
you’ve
placed me here
to
do your will
and I will
(I pray)
and
like a child
I
look to eternity
with
joy
but
Lord
great
as that will be
a
lifetime
an
eternity
with
you
still
I live below
where
joys are great
as
well
I
see perfection here, Lord
in
love
in
music
in
people
if
this is but the prologue
the
book must be...
...awesome
to
say the least
but
Lord
mustn’t
the prologue be read
to
fullest extent
is
it against your will
for
me to wish
to
stay
below
a
time
there
is so much yet
for
me to do
so
very much yet
for
me to see
dear
Lord
I
want to serve you
in
every way I can
and
live my life
for
you
that’s
what I’m here for
for
you
but
still
you’ve
made your child a man
a
man
who
loves
who
laughs
who
cries
a
man who loves to live
the
life you gave
for
all its little joys
birdsong
and
sunshine
and...
...so
much more
please
let
me taste it more
before
I cross the threshold
to
you
please,
oh God
let
me live,
while
I live,
to
praise you
to
serve you
to
love you
and
to accept your will
for
me
in
the life I live
