In a Way That Matters (My Prayer)

Lyrics

In a way that matters In a way that shows that I belong to You Help me to serve, to care and love As You'd have me to From a life that is pure And a heart that is true Give the courage to stand for what's right When everything within would compromise Lord, won't You fill me each day And I will give myself away, I pray In a way that matters In a way that shows that I belong to You Help me to serve, to care and love As You'd have me to From a life that is pure And a heart that is true Give the courage to stand for what's right When everything within would compromise Lord, won't You fill me each day And I will give myself away, I pray In a way that matters, mm-hmm Lord, I pray You take me in Your arms And hold my every motive to the flame And keep them ever near until they're clean Like a pot of gold when dross is burned away In a way that matters In a way that shows that I belong to You Lord, help me to serve, to care and love As You'd have me to From a life that is pure And a heart that is true Give the courage to stand for what is right Everything within, everything would compromise Lord, won't You fill me each day I will give myself away, I pray In a way that matters, oh, oh, Lord For only by Your fire can I be yours Made alive to bear the cross You bore in shame Made ready for the joy that lies ahead As a witness to the power in Your name Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah Oh, Lord In a way that matters In a way that shows that I belong to You Lord, help me to serve, to care and love As You'd have me to From a life that is pure And a heart that is true Give me courage to stand for what is right, oh... When everything within would compromise Lord, won't You fill me each day And I will give myself away, I pray, I pray In a way that matters Ooh, amen
