Only One Life...

I have been blessed and challenged by this hymn lately; Only One Life. Here are the words of it:

Only one life to offer
Jesus, my Lord and King;
Only one tongue to praise Thee
And of Thy mercy sing
Only one heart's devotion
Savior, O may it be
Consecrated alone to Thy matchless glory
Yielded fully to Thee.

Only this hour is mine, Lord
May it be used for Thee;
May ev'ry passing moment
Count for eternity
Souls all about are dying,
Dying in sin and shame;
Help me bring them
The message of Calv'ry's redemption
In Thy glorious name.

Only one life to offer
Take it, dear Lord, I pray;
Nothing from Thee withholding,
Thy will I now obey;
Thou who hast freely given
Thine all in all for me,
Claim this life
For Thine own to be used, my Savior,
Ev'ry moment for Thee.

We only have one life....we'll only live today once....let's make it count for eternity!

Grace be with you!

  1. Hello Hannah!

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment! I always enjoy meeting new people through our blogs...and it's neat that you are also doing the Bible Bee! This is my first year, and so far I'm really enjoying it.

    I was wondering if I could become an authorized user on the accountability forum. I have an account on it, but it won't let me reply to peoples comments because I'm not registered. So I was wondering if you authorized me.

    Thanks, Hannah!
