I talk about grace
I talk about love
I talk about faith
But some days I don’t have enough
I talk about forgiveness
Still learning how to give it
Lord, I need your strength to live what I believe

I want my life to preach
Every breath, every beat
I want my life to preach
When I’m strong, when I’m weak
Through valley lows and mountain highs
Every moment testifies
Further than my words could ever reach
Lord, I want my life to preach

I talk about peace
And I talk about hope
I talk about serving others
But most days I don’t
And I talk about freedom
But gettin’ lost in religion
Lord, give me strength to live what I believe

‘Cause I want my life to preach
Every breath, every beat
I want my life to preach
When I’m strong, when I’m weak
Through valley lows and mountain highs
Every moment testifies
Further than my words could ever reach
Lord, I want my life to preach
(I want my life to preach)
I want my life to preach)

Turn my days into your canvas
Let me stay open-handed
With a humble heart to serve the least of these (least of these)
I want my faith to be in action
Let this flame of compassion
Be louder than every word I speak

I want my life to preach
I want my life to preach
I want my life to preach
I want my life to preach

Yeah
Every breath, every beat
I want my life to preach
When I’m strong, when I’m weak
Through valley lows and mountain highs
Every moment testifies
Further than my words could ever reach
Lord, I want my life to preach

(I want my life to preach)
(I want my life to preach)
Lord, I want my life to preach
(I want my life to preach)
(I want my life to preach)
I want my life to preach
Every breath, every beat
Lord, I want my life to preach
