Now Lord What Can I Do For You Lyrics - Connie Smith

(Now Lord what can I do for you) 

[ Nat ] 

In a land where there's freedom to worship 

It was there that beauty creates that I should be born 

You gave me the breath of life and let me see the light of dawn 

And you gave me a father and a mother 

Who have stood in the breach for me through all of my shortcomings 

You did this when you might have turned away from the hard store 

To cause your spirit to strife no more 

[ Both ] 

Now Lord what can I do for you 

[ Nat ] 

Through the weary swift years of childhood till I was a man I rejected your call 

Knowing that you gave your only begotten son to plea 

At to die on the cross at calvary that I might have eternal life 

And since that day long ago when with tender mercy you saved my soul 

I've never called out your name except when I was in trouble sorrow and pain 

Yet you have showered me with blessings even though I drifted away and grew cold 

[ Both ] 

Now Lord what can I do for you 

[ Nat ] 

It's true I've been wild pleasured that I'm willing to surrender all 

And now my life is mostly spent yet tonight you restored my soul 

You gave me a loving wife and the family of my own 

And I brought them shame my sins have caused them grief and pain I'm told 

But they loved and believed in me when I know to them it seemed in vain 

Yes you are a mercyful God to take me back again 

[ Both ] 

Now Lord what can I do for you
