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.
