Give and Take
All good gifts come from the Father- the first light when I wake
The drink I drink, the bread I break
The great giver will provide
So I stand naked before my Lord bankrupt in every way
No song to sing, no words to say
That He himself has not supplied
So what can I offer to my Lord so that my love I may show?
How can I hope to give a blessing to the one from whom all blessings flow?
Give and take, it's always give and take
He gives and gives and I take and take
His graces for granted that He's given for my sake
He gives so I can learn to give and take
I am blessed in knowing He willc receive
An offering of humility from a life that's set apart
In purity of spirit and a mind that will believe
The praise of my mouth, the song of my soul And true worship from my heart!
So what can I offer to my Lord so that my love I may show?
How can I hope to give a blessing to the one from whom all blessings flow?
Give and take, it's always give and take
He gives and gives and I take and take
His graces for granted that He's given for my sake
He gives so I can learn to give and take
