Now Lord What Can I Do For You Lyrics - Nat Stuckey

Now Lord, what can I do for you? 

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 my heart's door 

To cause your spirit to strife no more 

Now Lord, what can I do for you? 

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 and 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 

Now Lord, what can I do for you? 

It's true, I've been wild, pleasured bent 

Unwilling 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 merciful God to take me back again 

Now Lord, what can I do for you?
