I will live

FRANCES CREASEY

So free me, Lord, that I may live to love,
that I may live to praise, may live to show
to hungry hearts the Life more plentiful
than mortal man can ever dream or know.

So free me, Father—keep me, Mother Love—
fill me with power to impart and share
my newfound freedom. Teach me, God, to trust
only in You, to honor You, declare

You, without fear, wherever there is grief,
wherever there is want, or pain, or wrong.
Teach me to live, and I will live to tell
of You, in faith, in works, in life, in song.

FRANCES CREASEY
