In a way that matters
In a way that shows that I belong to you
Help me to serve, to care and love
As you'd have me to
From a life that is pure
And a heart that is true
Give the courage to stand for what's right
When everything within would compromise
Lord won't you fill me each day
And I will give myself away I pray
In a way that matters
Lord I pray you take me in your arms
And hold my every motive to the flame
Keep them ever near until they're clean
Like a pot of gold when the dross is burned away
Only by the fire can I be yours
Made alive to bear the cross you bore in shame
Made ready for the joy that lies ahead
As a witness to the power in your name
