"Lifetime" lyrics

I've been serving you
I've been serving you, Lord, for a long time now
And I'm not going nowhere
I'll be serving you for a lifetime

I've been praising you
Yes. I have
I've been praising you for a long, long, long time now, Lord
And I'm not going nowhere
I'm not going nowhere
I'm not going nowhere
I'll be praising you for a lifetime
Yes. I will

As I look back over my life—
You see. My parents always taught me to honor you, Lord
Yes. They did
I spent all of my days, all of my life in your care
And, right now, I'm stuck on you
And, Lord, you're stuck with me
And this special love, this bond that we have together, we'll always, always share
Oh, Lord

I've been serving you
Only you, Jesus
I've been serving you for a long time now
And I made up in my mind
I'm not going nowhere
Lord, I'm not going nowhere
I'm not going nowhere
I'm gonna be serving you for a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime
I'm making this declaration
And I'm not going nowhere
No matter what people say
No matter what comes and goes
I'm gonna stay close to you for a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime

You see: it wouldn't make any sense for me to turn around after all of these years serving you
I can't go back now
I'm gonna be like Paul when he said
"I'll let nothing separate me from the love of God."
