Giving what's Given

"Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.... The LORD will give strength unto His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace" (Psalm 29:1,2,11). "The LORD giveth wisdom" (Proverbs 2:6). "By the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain" (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Give to the Lord what He graciously gave
Out of the riches of grace He bestowed.
Acknowledge the wonder that He stooped to save
By reaping the judgment our sinfulness sowed!

Give to the Lord what you know He will seek:
Your heart, soul, and strength, which He bought with a price!
For when we were hopelessly sinful and weak,
He ransomed us fully through Christ's sacrifice!

Give to the Lord an obedient heart,
Filled with the wisdom He gives to His own,
Equipped with the grace He will freely impart
To all who will boldly draw near to His throne.

We give to You now, Lord, what we have received;
We're stewards of grace that we do not deserve,
For once we were lost and were blindly deceived,
But now grace that saves us equips us to serve!
