Must be more
Something yet to do
Times getting short
Have to thank you
For all the things
You’ve done for me
There’s just one image I can see
Your eyes looking down
From that tree
With my last breath
Praises will sing
Pointing the way
To my king
The only thing
That I can give
You even gave that to me
My life is yours
My time and all
My mouth my words seem small
Is there one last thing that I can do
To shine your light once more?
With my last breath, praises will sing
Pointing the way to YOU MY KING
With my last breath
Praises ill sing, pointing the way to you my king
Tears in my heart tears in my eyes
Your gift of life to me
With my last breath, I’ll sing your praise for all eternity
With my last breath, I’ll sing your praise for all eternity
