Lyrics
While I Can
There will come a time, There will come a day,
When the lights burn low.
When this body, That I’m livin’ in,
Will hardly be able to show,
Deeds of kindness, Acts of mercy,
And works that spring from my heart.
Then I’ll wonder, What I’ve wasted,
And wish that I could restart.
So while I can, I’ll lift up my hands
To praise the Lord with my heart, and with my soul.
Up to the sky, I will sing and glorify
The name of the One who makes me whole.
There are reasons, Not to trust him,
The world is such a mess.
Sometimes I wonder, if he listens
Oh, I must confess.
I have doubted, And I have questioned,
If he really cares.
But then I realize, I am blinded,
By all my despair
So while I can, I’ll lift up my hands
To praise the Lord with my heart, and with my soul.
Up to the sky, I will sing and glorify
The name of the One who makes me whole.
(Bridge)
After I am dead, Nothing will be said,
The grave cannot rejoice.
When life slips away, There’s nothin’ more to say
Not when you lose your voice.
If I keep silent, and refuse to sing,
The birds and the rocks will cry out!
So as long as I have breath in my lungs
I will sing and I will shout!
So while I can, I’ll lift up my hands
To praise the Lord with my heart, and with my soul.
Up to the sky, I will sing and glorify
The name of the One who makes me whole.
Oh, I’m gonna say he’s the One.
Yes, it’s the name of the One.
There’s simply no other One.
Who makes me whole.
Yes it’s the name of the One.
They call him God’s only Son
Oh, I’m gonna say he’s the One
Who makes me whole.
