Help me to live my life in such a way
That You grow brighter
And that I fade away.
[Two times]

Verse 1:
Teach me to give and not to seek return.
Help me forgive, though the hurt may still burn.
Help me to love and know it's not in vain;
And when my heart breaks, hold me up
Through the pain.

Chorus:
Help me to live my life in such a way
That You grow brighter
And that I fade away.
Help me to live my life in such a way
That You grow brighter
And that I fade away.

Verse 2:
Give me the faith to hold on to Your Word,
To trust Your plan, though it may seem absurd.
And if I'm tired and there's still more to do,
Give me the strength to do that job for You.

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3:
When that day comes that I pass from here,
This life's all done, and with You we appear,
Help me, I pray, to take before Your throne
Not lots of works I've done, but love I've shown.

Chorus:
Help me to live my life in such a way
That You grow brighter
And that I fade away.
Help me to live my life in such a way
That You grow brighter
And that I fade away. -
[Repeat two times]
