May the Lord’s shining grace be yours, love
May the happiest face be yours, love
May the last fingertips
That touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours, love

May the fruit of my toil be yours, love
May the food from my soil be yours love
And from this moment on
May a love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours, love

May the sons that I raise be yours, love
May the comforts that I praise be yours, love
And if I ever get weak
May the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours, love
May the Lord’s shining grace…
May the Lord’s shining grace…

The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Yours Love" means the words set to the music of Yours Love, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Willie Nelson. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
