Every Gift Was Handed Back

Every Gift Was Handed Back By Beth Fisher This year I stopped to contemplate the kind of gift I'd bring To lay at the nail-scarred feet of my Gracious Heavenly King. He's given my very life to me, and the blessings I hold dear, But I can't come up with anything appropriate, I fear. Every time I give Him something, He more than doubles the return... I gave to Him my weakness, His strength He then confirmed Would always be there for me to securely hold on to. I gave Him my shattered life - He gave me life anew. I gave Him my pain and heartbreak, all that troubled my weary soul - He gave me hope and happiness, and made my body whole. I gave Him all my doubts and fears, the things that stood in the way Of my daily service in His name - He made them go away. I offered Him my feeble voice, to sing His praise in song - He filled my heart with a melody, that will last my whole life long. I offered Him my hands to serve, to help out those in need, He gave me the talent to use these tools, so that I would succeed. I gave Him my life completely, to show His light in a world of night, He gave me a wonderful testimony, a way to share His light. I offered Him my eyes to see all that they could take in - He showed to me a world of fear, unhappiness and sin. For every gift I gave to Him, He handed back to me Instructions for their uses - endless possibility To reach a world that needs to find the Saviour that I found, So on and on, I serve, for to Him in love I'm bound.
