Father Let Me Dedicate

 

Father Let Me Dedicate

By Lawrence Tuttiett with additions by Matt Redman

Father let me dedicate all this life to Thee


In whatever worldly state Thou would have me be


Not from sorrow, pain or care, freedom dare I claim


This alone shall be my prayer, glorify Thy name

Be glorified in me, be glorified 

Be glorified in me, be glorified

Can a child presume to choose, where or how to live?


Can a Father's love refuse all the best to give?


Let my glad heart, while it sings, Thee in all proclaim


And, whatever the future brings, glorify Thy name

Be glorified in me, be glorified 

Be glorified in me, be glorified

If thou callest to the cross, and its shadow come, 

turning all my gain to loss, shrouding heart and home; 

let me think how thy dear Son to his glory came, 

and in deepest woe pray on, "Glorify thy Name."

Be glorified in me, be glorified 

Be glorified in me, be glorified

If in mercy thou wilt spare joys that yet are mine; 

if on life, serene and fair, brighter rays may shine; 

let my glad heart, while it sings, thee in all proclaim, 

And, whate'er the future brings, Glorify thy Name.

Be glorified in me, be glorified 

Be glorified in me, be glorified

If we must in grief and loss Thy behest obey,

If beneath the shadowy cross liest our homeward way;

We will think what Thy dear Son once for us became,

And repeat till life is done, glorify Thy Name.

Be glorified in me, be glorified 

Be glorified in me, be glorified
