Lyrics
I HAVE A LIFETIME
1992 Deb Rempel arranged and performed beautifully by Joyce Templeton
Verse One
They called you friend and left you scarred.
You fled your pain and ran so far.
You're sure your strength is gone -- spent in trials.
I'll cleanse and heal your soul. Come here, my child.
Chorus
I have a lifetime of joy to fill you again and again and again.
I have a lifetime of work for you to glorify My Name.
I have a lifetime of hope to renew your strength.
Don't think it's over. My child, I've just begun.
Verse Two
You're dearly loved. Christ died for you.
Through Him forgive and be renewed.
Come know His mercy's depth. Learn to show
That depth of mercy. Others too must know:
Chorus
Bridge
Through Christ your comfort wells and overflows
Bringing a steadfast, patient faith that knows
Chorus
