Thank You For For My Lufe
From David Anaekwe
He Alone is worthy
To worship and Adore
The Lamb of God Victorious
My Risen Lord
He purchased my redemption
My Righteousness is He
Exalt the Name of Jesus
He is Worthy
Sing it Him
It's exactly 365 days ago
Yeah! Exactly one year today
On the 10th of October 2003
That beautiful day of the Lord
Yeah! A day made by Him that is above all
A day for His glory
A day for His honour
A day of His Praise
A day He made for the glory of His name
A day mistaken by the enemy of my soul
Yeah! A day that his ploys failed
A day of God's Grace
It was a Friday
Exactly the same day my Bible tells me that My Jesus died
Yes a day He died for my victory
A day He paid the price for my sins
A day that He bought me
And made me worth a more than a million to my God
A day that a worthless me was made of a precious prize to a great God
Yeah! A precious prize by that precious prize that was paid
Oh what a Great price was paid for a worthless me
That I might be worth something before Him
That my Life may be precious in His sight
Yes it was on such a day
At about 5 pm
Yes about two hours after the bible reported
That my Lord Cried "It is finished"
And then gave up the Ghost
Marking the eternal victory that has been gotten for me
Yes, it about such a time that the enemy of my soul sought my Life
But, the Lord of my soul said, “His price has been paid”
He was bought with a precious prize
He is worth my son
Because I gave my only begotten for Him
His victory has been bought
I remember with vivid memories the scene of that ghastly auto accident
Oh! but for the power that raised Jesus from death
That came mightily to rescue where the hand of no man could have gotten
Saying, "Touch not my anointed, do my prophet no harm"
Yeah! Uttering, "Not a bone of his shall be broken"
Who could have believed that the people in that car are still alive?
Talk less believing that one standing by the car was part of it
As the passionate crowd stood afar off watching with amazement and screaming
Yet not a soul was lost
Even the driver of the trailer with whom the collision was had
Uttered and said,
"Your heart must be clean for you to come out of this car alive"
Yet it was not by any of my righteousness
But by His grace alone
His grace that saw me, and what He could make of me
Not as yet by what I am
But What I could be in Him
Oh for the fountain of that Grace and mercy
It would have been a year of Remembrance of me
People writing "A year in Mind"
My Loved ones would have remembered me today and wished it never happened
But Here I am
Like a brand plucked out of the fire
Like a Living brought from among the dead
Living an extra year of Grace
A year I would never have had if my Lord hadn't bought me
A year I wouldn't have had if He did not die for me
A year I would not have had but for His mercies
For I tell you, I had worth nothing to live an extra moment but for Him
And today, I am not remembered, but "I" remember
Today I am not a year in any mind but I have a year in my Mind
All by His grace
And this year of celebration has fallen into a Sunday
A day that the work on the cross was finished
Began on a Friday when the prize was paid and the Blood shed
Consummated on a Sunday when the powers of grave could not hold Him captive
When the eternal victory was blown up
When the world knew that the death was victory in disguise
Victory concealed beneath the earth till the third day
When the Power of resurrection declared Him risen Lord
And Oh grave where is thy power?
Oh death where is your sting?
He spared me
As He spared the first borns' of the tribe of Israel by the blood
On the day that the angel of death passed through the Land of Egypt
And consecrated all of them to be His for ever
So He has spared me from death
And consecrated me
That I may no longer live the rest of my life but to Him
Oh my Lord for this prize you paid
Oh for this Life you bought
Oh for each extra moment you grant
That it might be yours and yours alone
Oh that the whole of this life
And all that it brings out
Be wholly nothing else Lord
But that, that would give you praise
And touch more lives for You Lord
Oh that the whole of my life
And all that I am
And all that I would ever be
Be fully consecrated Lord to thee
I can never really be anything better
Than to Live for Him who died for me
Gave Himself for me
That I might be worth something precious in His sight
Lord, I am forever grateful
And if truly I have found grace in your sight
Grant me strength and grace that each extra moment of this life may be lived for you
That you and you alone would have all your way in my life
That each passing moment of the remnant of my days Lord may give you glory
That my life may be guided by you and lived for you
Lord that you will really have me
Till I come to be with you in Glory
Grant me this oh God
As I this day celebrate your grace and might in my Life this day
Beloved please spare a moment to bless Him for my Life
DAVID
