God has given me repeated opportunities to step back and analyze my life; to try and figure out if I'm really living for Him, or myself. From the moment I first accepted His gift, to all the times since when He's called me back to a closer walk with Him, each experience draws me in deeper. As you listen, I hope you use the time to reflect on what God is speaking to you, and if He is living in and through your life. If you want Him to, all you have to do is ask. He's waiting with open arms. This is the first song on which I've had other musicians record. I'd like to thank the following people for their excellent work. Having you involved has been a huge blessing to me. Thank you! Piano - Micah Page http://www.micahpagepiano.com Cajon/Percussion - John Hoagland. Bass - Katharyne Kauffmann.

~Verse 1~ God, help me want You more than passing pleasure. Help me understand my need. 'Cause Your love it goes beyond all measure, and You have better plans for me. ~Chorus~ God, live in me. Take this life; turn old to new. I'm giving up the me for You. Only by Your Spirit will I be set free, so here's my heart; I'm giving all to You. Live in me. ~Verse 2~ Walking each new day in Your mercy. Sheltered by the Father's hand. Covered by the blood of One who's worthy. So in this life I'll take a stand. ~Bridge~ Christ in me, the living hope of glory. This gift You've given me, I want the world to see. Alive in me, the living hope of glory. Finally free. ~End~ God, live in me. I'm giving up the me for You.
