I Give You Me
(From ‘Dyin’ to Tell Ya, a musical’)
Lyric and music by Douglas C.
Eltzroth
Verse 1
I give you me
Yes, it is I
Who offers up this living sacrifice
I give myself
To you my God
I dedicate to serve you with my life
I’m tired of always changing my decision
I’d vow to follow you then look away
My faith just forged its way to clearer vision
In your mercy, Lord, I promise
Hear the words I say
“I give you me”
Chorus:
I give you me
‘Cause nothing less could ever honor you
I give you me
With all my trust
With all my doubts
I give you me
Right now. Right here.
For I’ve learned throughout the years
If my worship is sincere
There’s no way out
But to give you me
Verse 2
I put aside
My selfish rights
I die to make my gift to you alive
I give you me
Entirely
I want to be found pleasing in your sight
Oh, I understand my gift is too unworthy
When held within your hands
Within your gaze
It’s only with my eyes wide to your mercy
That I dare to make this promise
There’s no other way
To give you me!
(Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
