If I could write melodies To tell You how much I love You It would be endless It would be priceless If I could buy You rubies Or if I could buy You gold What would it profit If Your story went untold But I've much rather give You praise And Your banner forever I'll raise As long as I live I'll praise Your holy name If I could take the wings Of an early mornin' bird And sail to a place That no ones ever heard You'll still be there I'd be in Your care If I could hold the world In the palms of my hand Without the Savior See I know I could not stand So I've much rather lift hands to You And Your will forever I'll do As long as I live I'll praise Your holy Praise Your holy Praise Your holy name
