ONLY ONE LIFE

VERSE 1:
D                G6 Gm6
Only one life to of-fer-
D         D7       G6    Gm6
Jesus, my Lord and King;
D                  Bm     Dm6
Only one tongue to praise Thee
A           E7      A
And for Thy mercies sing (forever);
D                   G6 Gm6
Only one heart's de-vo-tion-
D         D7     G
Savior, O may it be
       D        B/D#        Em        Gm6
Consen-crated a-lone to Thy matchless glory,
D       Em7   A7 D
Yielded fully to Thee.

VERSE 2:
Only this hour is mine, Lord-
May it be used for Thee;
May ev'ry passing moment
Count for eternity (my Savior);
Souls all about are dying,
Dying in sin and shame;
Help me bring them the message 
Of Calv'ry's redemption
In Thy glorious name.

VERSE 3:
Only one life to offer-
Take it, dear Lord, I pray;
Nothing from Thee withholding,
Thy will I now obey (my Jesus);
Thou who hast freely given
Thine all in all for me,
Claim this life for Thine own, to be used,
My Savior, ev'ry moment for Thee.
