"Everything I Own"
what would i give to be pure in heart,
to be pure in flesh and bone
what would i give to be pure in heart
i'd give everything that i own
i'd rid my whole house of it's demons of lust
and open the window to trust,
and out of that window all fear will have flown
i'd give everything that i own
what would i give for the words of God
to come tumbling from the throne
tell me what would i give for the words of God
i'd give everythimg that i own
i'd open my head and they'd roll right in,
when i opened my mouth they would roll out again,
and up root the weeds of the deeds that i have sown
i'd give everything that i own
what would i give
for my childrens strength on the day they stand alone
i mean, what would i give for thier strength to stand firm
i'd give everything that i own
cuse i've wasted my life accomplishing things,
ignoring the giver of wings
so Lord teach them to fly to the foot of your throne
i'd give everything that i own
all i've accomplished, the titles i hold,
my passions, positions, possessions and gold.
to God they must look like a thimble of foam
and it's everything that i own, dirty rags are all that i own.
so i stand before God with my stuble and hay
He just laughs , but says there is still a way
because Father forgive, are the words Jesus moaned
and He gave everything that he owned
so what would i give to be pure in heart
for the known, to be made unknown
what would i give to be born again
