Give & Take
guitar chords lyrics
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.
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.
