**If Christ is my life, I would value each day  
 To follow His precepts, to heed and obey,  
 To seek His approval in all that I am,  
 To live out His purpose, to fulfill His plan\.**

**The things of this life will seem mundane and small  
 When He is my mainstay, who gave up His all,  
 The hopes and ambitions which consumed my time  
 Will fade into nothing when His will is mine\.**

**If Christ is my life, I'd be burdened with prayer  
 That all whom I influence will meet Him ‘up there’\.  
 My life will have meaning—be wrapped up in Him  
 Who loved me and saved me and freed me from sin\.**
