I give

This song is a simple meditative piece sang to God. We far too many times fail to acknowledge God for everything He has given us, and not uncommon to find it unthinkable to be able to surrender everything to Him, giving your whole life to Him. But we fail to realize, everything is God-given, so what we surrender is His already, what we give is given to us at first from His hand. We often think giving to God will mean sacrificing relationships that mean so much to you, sacrificing happiness, but we yet again fail to realize that even how much good you get out of a friendship, how happy you are is determined by God as well. This has been a struggle for me..and im sure it is for many...to really say to God "Everything is Yours", but Lord who are we to say what is Yours?Who are we to give what is Yours to begin with?

V1
Who am I to choose, how to live
When all I have to loose, is what You give

O take me to the first day, where I a sinner asked You to stay
Take me to the first day, to remember the life You lay, down for me


Chorus
So what can I give to You
That is not what You gave, to me
O Lord, I give
My life, my all, my everything

Ill give what that comes from Your hand
Ill praise You with all I am
For Lord, You are
My life, my all, my everything

V2
As I turn back the pages of yesterday
I see before me a story of grace

So take me to the first day, where I asked You to forgive
Here I stand forgiven, Lord for You my life Ill live


Bridge
And God I wanna thank You, wanna thank you

For my salvation, for my redemption
For who I am, for Your perfect plans...
For my passions, for my direction
For my family, your unending mercy...
For the glory, for the pain
Every breath I take, every move I make...
For the ones who mean so much to me
For the joy You gave so abundantly...

For Your love, I dont deserve
For Your love, that gave me my purpose
