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
