1. Because I have been given much, I too must give
Em A7 D7
Because of thy great bounty, Lord, each day I live
G D7
I shall divide my gifts from thee
B7 Em
With every brother that I see
G D7 G
Who has the need of help from me.
2. Because I have been sheltered, fed by thy good care.
I cannot see another’s lack and I not share
My glowing fire, my loaf of bread
My roof’s save shelter overhead
That he too might be comforted
3. Because I have been blessed by thy great love, dear Lord
I’ll share thy love again, according to thy word
I shall give love to those in need.
I’ll show love by word and deed
Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.
