Lyrics Jason Gray – Everything I Own
Text:
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
And open the windows of trust
And out of those windows 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
What would I give for the words of God
I’d give everything that I own
I’d open my head and they’d roll right in
When I opened my mouth they’d roll out again
And uproot the weeds of the deeds I have sown
I’d give everything that I own
Now what would I give for my children’s strength
On the day that they stand alone
I mean what would I give for their strength to stand firm
I’d give everything that I own
I’ve wasted my life in accomplishing things
Ignoring the giver of wings
So Lord teach them to fly to the foot of your throne
I’ll give everything that I own
All I’ve accomplished, the titles I hold
My passions, position, 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 stubble and hay
Because «Father, Forgive» are the words Jesus moaned
When 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?
