Nat Stuckey Lyrics
"Now Lord What Can I Do For You"

Now Lord, what can I do for you?

In a land where there's freedom to worship
It was there that beauty creates that I should be born
You gave me the breath of life and let me see the light of dawn

And you gave me a father and a mother
Who have stood in the breach for me through all of my shortcomings
You did this when you might have turned away from my heart's door
To cause your spirit to strife no more

Now Lord, what can I do for you?

Through the weary swift years of childhood
Till I was a man I rejected your call
Knowing that you gave your only begotten son
To plea and to die on the cross at calvary
That I might have eternal life

And since that day long ago when
With tender mercy you saved my soul
I've never called out your name except
When I was in trouble sorrow and pain
Yet you have showered me with blessings
Even though I drifted away and grew cold

Now Lord, what can I do for you?

It's true, I've been wild, pleasured bent
Unwilling to surrender all
And now, my life is mostly spent
Yet tonight you restored my soul
You gave me a loving wife and the family of my own

And I brought them shame
My sins have caused them grief and pain I'm told
But they loved and believed in me when
I know to them it seemed in vain
Yes, you are a merciful God to take me back again

Now Lord, what can I do for you?
