💛
1. Lord,
You give me every breath I take;
This precious world,
And everything you make.
2. You give me food and water,
All I need;
Your only Son –
His life and death, my creed.
3. Lord,
You give me faith, and hope, and prayer;
Your light, your truth;
Your peace beyond compare.
4. You even give your Spirit,
From above;
And best of all, Lord God,
You give me love.
💛
