When life's beyond our limits and we cannot suffice
Don't avoid the problem-And don't strive to pay its price
For all you have will never be enough for life alone
We have a Lord who knows what to us may be unknown
Our God knows all our limits But He does not adjust
Life to fit our limitations- He teaches us to trust
He asks us to walk on the water and then the faith He provides
To step out beyond ability and walk through raging tides
So I will hold up what I have unto the Lord
And thank Him for what He provides
I will ask God to bless all my resource
then take it and break it and divide
It among the needs I have before me
It's the natural thing to do
For God multiplies our resources
Whether many or just few!
I want to stay desperate enough to obey
To pray without questioning your way
Or think I'm sufficient for the day
Living life beyond your limits
Is the natural thing to do
Living life beyond your limits
Is the natural thing to do
The way of the Lord is not such a mystery
But until Life is beyond you you will never see
That this is the way we fail, why we might miss the goal
God reveals His greatness when we're out of control!
So whatever is your resource-With grateful hands just lift
And break it with a thankful heart ask god to bless the gift
Then pass it on to those in need though life is beyond you
God intercedes to meet each need- it's the natural thing to do!
So I will hold up what I have unto the Lord
And thank Him for what He provides
I will ask God to bless all my resource
then take it and break it and divide
It among the needs I have before me
It's the natural thing to do
For God multiplies our resources
Whether many or just few!
I want to stay desperate enough to obey
To pray without questioning your way
Or think I'm sufficient for the day
Living life beyond your limits
Is the natural thing to do
Living life beyond your limits
Is the natural thing to do
