Give it All

Verse 1
Jesus you deserve more,
Than I could ever give
Still I find I live
Outside my calling
To give it all
Jesus you deserve more,
Than I could ever give
Still I find I live
Outside my calling
To give it all

Chorus:
And I know that you know that I know
That I could never pay you back
And you know that I know that you know
To try would only prove the fact…
But it’s not about that.

Verse 2
You want more from more me
Not from my sense of duty
But from my deepening love of you
My deepening love of you
You want more from me
Not some fake chore
It’s just that there’s so much more
That you want to show me. Show me

Bridge:
Things to be taught
‘Cause I can’t find my life that you bought
And if I could just let it sink in
That you paid the great cost
Died for my sin
Maybe then I could give it all
‘Cause I know that you gave it all

Lori and I spent a week visiting our dear friends Matt and Anita Hanlon in Crewe, Virginia this summer. It was our first time seeing them since they left Spain and returned to the states. I had some music without words and Matt Hanlon had some words without music. We married them together and this song was born. I catch myself walking around the house singing the chorus because it is so catchy. We made a rough recording of it. Maybe we'll come and play it at a coffee house near you. :)
