"I Then Shall Live"

I first heard this song while watching to the Gaither Gospel Hour, with Bill Gaither and his wife Gloria talking about the circumstances around which she wrote the lyrics. What was most moving was when she said she hasn't yet reached the spiritual level the song speaks of. Once I heard the words, I could relate to that feeling as I am sure you will too.

In the video below, the Gaither Vocal Band & Ernie Haase singing - to the tune of Be Still My Soul - "I Then Shall Live". As the words scroll, please sing along and share in the desire of the seeker's heart.

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 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, oh 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
