i want my life to be more than this
more than money and mistaken bliss
more than mere service of these lips
i want my life to measure up
not with acts for men to see
not with the heart of a pharisee
i want my life to count for you
no more sadness and feeling blue
no more wandering without a clue
i want my life to be more than this
more than treasures here on earth
more than houses made with dirt
i want my life to simply say
in childlike faith she loved to pray
rain or shine or come what may
