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

(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
