Lyrics
Verse 1
We give Thee but Thine own, whate'er the gift may be;
All that we have is Thine alone, a trust, O Lord, from Thee.
Verse 2
May we Thy bounties thus as stewards true receive,
And gladly, as Thou blessest us, to Thee our firstfruits give.
Verse 3
O hearts are bruised and dead, and homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled are straying from the fold.
Verse 4
To comfort and to bless, to find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless is angels' work below.
Verse 5
The captive to release, to God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace, it is a Christlike thing.
Verse 6
And we believe Thy Word, though dim our faith may be;
Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, we do it unto Thee....

God has given us many gifts, and although He calls us to serve others and lay our lives down to partner with Him in seeing the reality of Heaven established here on Earth, we are also supposed to enjoy the journey! Our jobs, our families, our health, our church community: these are just some of the gifts God has given us. Whilst worshipping Him with them, we can enjoy, have fun and find happiness from them too! Doing so is an expression of faith that He is who He says He is, our loving Father.
