The Gift I've Been Given
 
 
 

 

I wanted to sing, a song of my love for You, 

But I’m having to settle, for singing about how I tried.

I can’t find the words; perhaps there are no words to find,

And maybe that’s better; there’s really no way to describe

 

 

The gift I’ve been given, to give away,

(For) If it’s not given, it’s taken away;

The gift I’ve been given, to give away.

 

 

I don’t understand, why You have chosen me,

To tell all the world, that You’ve come to set people free;

For I’m just a man, and rarely a good one it seems,

But that’s Your command, and lately it’s becoming my dream;

 

 

The gift I’ve been given, to give away,

(For) if it’s not given, it’s taken away.
The gift I've been given, to give away.
