Additional Verses:
(2) May the life I live speak for me
May the live I live speak for me
When the best I try to live
my mistakes He will forgive
May the life I live speak for me.
(3) May the service I give speak for me
May the service I give speak for me
When I’ve done the best I can
And my friends don’t understand
May the service I give speak for me.
