To Simply Live

When life in its complexities would distract my aim

I want to keep the main thing the main thing.

Though this world is no friend to  the simple and the plain

The good and beautiful life He makes is a pleasing offering.

To simply live, to simply live for Christ

To simply bring my life as a pleasing sacrifice.

With the obedience of faith To simply run the race

To simply live by faith. To simply go with grace.

We live with dire distractions, we play our busy parts

When that which is required of us is a humble, contrite heart.

So come unto the sacrifice thatís made on our behalf

Life is uncomplicated on the straight and narrow path.

To simply live, to simply live for Christ

To simply bring my life as a pleasing sacrifice.

With the obedience of faith To simply run the race

To simply live by faith. To simply go with grace.
