Because I have been given much, I too must give
Because of thy great bounty, Lord, each day I live
I shall divide my gifts from thee
With every brother that I see
Who has the need of help from me.
verse 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
verse 3
Because love has been lavished so upon me Lord
A wealth I know that was not meant for me to hoard
I shall give love to those in need.
Shall show love by word and deed
Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.
