Now Lord What Can I Do For You ?


[ Nat and Connie ]
Now Lord what can I do for You?

In a land where there's freedom to worship.
It was there that you decreed that I should be born.
You gave me the breath of life and let me see the light of dawn.
And You gave me a father and a mother,
Who have stood in the breach for me through all of my shortcomings.
You did this when you might have turned away from my hearts door,
And cause your spirit to strife no more.

[ Nat and Connie ]
Now Lord what can I do for You?

Through the very swift years of childhood till I was a man I rejected your call.
Knowing that You gave your only begotten son to bleed,
And to die on the cross at Calvary that I might have eternal life.
And since that day long ago when with tender mercy You saved my soul.
I've never called out your name except when I was in trouble, sorrow, or pain.
Yet, You have showered me with blessings even though I drifted away and grew cold.

[ Nat and Connie ]
Now Lord what can I do for You?
It's true I've been wild and pleasure bent, unwilling to surrender all.
And now my life is mostly spent, yet tonight You restored my soul.
You gave me a loving wife and the family of my own.
And I brought them shame my sins have caused them grief and pain I'm told.
But they loved and believed in me when I know to them it seemed in vain.
Yes, You are a merciful God to take me back again.

[ Nat and Connie ]
Now Lord what can I do for You?
