My Life Is In You
Devotion
My Life Is in You, written by Daniel Gardner in 1986, is a song often used in "praise worship." It is found in many praise and worship songbooks and it captures the essence of the themes of these texts.
My life is in you, Lord.
My strength is in you, Lord.
My hope is in you, Lord
In you, it’s in you.
I will praise you with all of my life,
I will praise you with all of my strength,
With all of my life,
With all of my strength,
All of my hope is in you.
The themes of hope, trust, love and faith are at the heart of the gospel. What we must remember is that without Christ, without the cross and without the resurrection we are still lost. We praise the three persons of God in response to who God is and what God has done for us.
Prayer
God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, let us praise you with all of our life and strength; for our hope is in you. Amen.
