If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to own, with wealth my only goal
I'd spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that your life brings
Just a "little bit more" was all I'd need 'til life was torn from me.
(chorus)
I'd rather be in the palm of your hand
Though rich or poor I may be.
Faith can see right through the circumstance;
Sees the forest in spite of the trees.
Your grace provides for me. (coda)
If I should walk the streets, no place to sleep,
No faith in promises you keep.
I'd have no way to buy my bread with a Bible for my bed.
But if I trust the one who died for me, Who shed His blood to set me free
If I live my life to trust in you, your grace will see me through.
(chorus to coda)
If I could have the world (etc. fade)
