Give & Take |
If you had to take away my voice, |
and I could no longer sing, |
if I no longer had the words to say anything, |
and if you had to take away all music from my ears, |
and I could no longer hear the sounds of the earth. |
If this is what you had to do |
so that I could be close to you, |
I would praise you for the silence. |
I’d give everything up |
for I want nothing to stand between our love. |
And if you had to take away my sight, |
and I no longer could see the beauty of the sunrise, |
nor the eyes of a child, |
nor the brightness of the night, |
nor the color of the sky in the morning light. |
If this is what you had to do |
so that I could be close to you, |
I would praise you for the darkness. |
I’d give everything up |
for I want nothing to stand between our love. |
And if you had to take away my name, |
and I no longer knew who I was or how I changed, |
if you took away my breath |
or the beating of my heart, |
if you took away my destiny, |
if you took my world apart! |
If this is what you had to do |
so that I could be close to you, |
I would praise you for the brokenness. |
I’d give everything up |
for I want nothing to stand between our love. |
But you, Jesus, you take me as I am! |
I have nothing to give, |
yet you kiss my empty hands. |
You took it all upon yourself, |
taking nothing from me. |
You gave up your life. |
That’s what it took to set me free. |
And this is what you chose to do |
so that I could be close to you, |
and I praise you for your love. |
You gave everything up |
so that nothing could stand, |
not even death, could stand between our love. |
