I Then Shall Live

I then shall live as one who's been forgiven. 
I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid. 
I know my name is clear before my Father; 
I am His child and I am not afraid. 
So, greatly pardoned, I'll forgive my brother; 
The law of love I gladly will obey. 

I then shall live as one who's learned compassion. 
I've been so loved, that I'll risk loving too. 
I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges; 
I'll dare to see another's point of view. 
And when relationships demand commitment, 
Then I'll be there to care and follow through. 

Your Kingdom come around and through and in me; 
Your power and glory, let them shine through me. 
Your Hallowed Name, O may I bear with honor, 
And may Your living Kingdom come in me. 
The Bread of Life, O may I share with honor, 
And may You feed a hungry world through me. 

Amen, Amen, Amen

-Gloria Gaither
