Not I But Christ

[Laurentius]

This song was in the CD I was given yesterday and after listening to it I can't take it away from my mind :)for it spoke clearly to my heart. Be Christ our all!!

Not I, But Christ
Not I but Christ be honored, loved, exalted
Not I but Christ be seen, be known, be heard
Not I but Christ in every look and action
Not I but Christ in every thought and word
Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord
Oh, to be lost in Thee!
Oh, that it might be no more I,
But Christ that lives in me
Not I but Christ to gently soothe in sorrow
Not I but Christ to wipe the falling tear
Not I but Christ to lift the weary burden
Not I but Christ to hush away all fear
Christ, only Christ ere long will fill my vision
Glory excelling soon, full soon I’ll see
Christ, only Christ my every wish fulfilling
Christ, only Christ my all and all to be
