as long as i live {what a privilege}

this song has spent a year or two at the top of my favourite list. it demands my best. demands my all. in every situation, every circumstance.

...praise the Lord, oh my soul, and let all that's within me praise His name...

it is truth to me.  perspective altering truth, no matter where i find myself.

...i get to love You through, whatever comes, what a privilege,

that i get to love You through, whatever comes, oh how sweet it is...

it is my declaration. my lifesong, i think.

...and nothings gonna take your praise out of mouth, as long as i shall live...
