I want to sing a song for You, Lord
Lord, for You I want to sing a song
And I want to lift my voice to Heaven
And listen to the angels sing along

A song of Your faithfulness
A song of Your grace
And of Your loving kindness
To the glory of Your name
With everything that’s in me, Lord
Listen to me say
I want to sing a song for You
I want to sing a song

I want to live my life for You, Lord
Lord, for You I want to live my life
I want to praise the name of Jesus
Pray above all things You’re glorified

And I sing about Your mercy
And I sing about Your love
Your goodness, Lord
Your righteousness
I want to sing. . .

And we’ll sing holy, holy, holy
We’ll sing holy, holy, holy
We’ll shout holy, holy
Are You Lord almighty

Yes, You are Lord

Behind the Song:
'I can remember writing this song last fall ('02) in Wichita, KS. We had some good friends out on the road with us for a few days leading us in some great studies in the book 'Celebration of Discipline.' I had been also reading so many great Psalms in which the authors would write, 'I sing for joy because of what you have done' (92), 'celebrate his wonderful name with music' (135), and 'How good is it to sing praises to our God!' (147). I wanted to write a simple song about the joy we have because of our relationships with God. When you have that kind of joy, you can't help but sing.' - Mac Powell (Third Day)
