76. Something worth living for

1. Life was shattered and hope was gone;

   Crushing the load that I bore;

   Then out of the depths I cried,

   "O God, give me something worth living for."

   Something more than my yesterdays—

   More than I had before.

   Something more than wealth or fame,

   He gave me something worth living for.

2. There, with life at its lowest ebb,

   Who could heal and restore?

   Then He came and mended my broken heart,

   He gave me something worth living for.

3. Oh, the joy of sins forgiven,

   There's nothing the same as before.

   My life overflows since Jesus came

   And gave me something worth living for.
