Damascus Road Lyrics

On the road to Damascus I was hung on the ropes of success
When You stripped away the mask of life
They had placed upon the face of death
And I wanna thank You Lord
More than all of my words can say (I give my life)
I give my life to sing Your praise
And all those fortunes I hoarded
They were the well from which my poverty sprang
Oh they led me to no greater glory and they left me with no less shame
I say I wanna give You glory Lord and I do
But everything that I could ever find to offer comes from You
But if my darkness can praise Your light, You give me breath
And I'll give my life to sing Your praise
On the road to Damascus
I was hung on the ropes of success
When You stripped away the mask of life
They had placed upon the face of death
And I wanna thank You Lord
More than all of my words can say (I give my life)
I give my life to sing Your praise (and beyond this I would not beg)
For anything except of grace (to give my life to sing Your praise)
And beyond this I would not beg (for anything except of grace)
To give my life to sing Your praise (and beyond this I would not beg)
For anything except of grace (to give my life to sing Your praise)
And beyond this I would not beg (for anything except of grace)
To give my life, I give my life
I give my life to sing Your praise
