I Know How You Want Me to Live
Music by Scot Crandal • Text by Robert Bryant
A Gospel-infused song that proclaims Micah 6:8
REFRAIN
I know how you want me to live.
Oh, I know how you want me to live.
You want me to act,
you want me to love,
you want me to walk with you, God.
Oh yes, I know how you want me to live.
VERSE 1
You want me to do justice.
How do I do justice?
I act when it’s time to act.
I speak up when it’s time to speak up.
I take stands when life calls for a stand,
and say no to the hate in our land.
VERSE 2
You want me to love kindness.
How do I love kindness?
I give when it’s time to give.
I bring joy when it’s time to bring joy.
I weep with the sorrowing soul.
I include in a way that is bold.
VERSE 3
You want me to walk humbly.
How do I walk humbly?
I repent when it’s time to repent.
I forgive when it’s time to forgive.
I let go of my need to know why,
and I die when it’s my time to die,
’cause that’s how you want me to live.
