Give Up

Some people stumble all through their lives.
They won’t take a stand, they just cover their eyes.

They travel the smooth path of least resistance,

Letting the crowd rule them instead of their conscience.

Do you want to make a difference with your life?

You must give up your self, and let your heart be your guide.

The life you’ve been given is not yours to spend.  Oh no.

Not to spend on yourself and your own ambitions.

Your place in the sun, the game you want to win will be won

When you’ve given your all for somebody else.  Someone else.

Do you want to make a difference with your life?

You must give up your self, and let your heart be your guide.

It’s time that we look to the needs of our brothers.

Time that we give out of our own abundance.

The talents we have, the gifts God’s given us

Were given to bless somebody else.   Someone else.

Do you want to make a difference with your life?

You must give up your self, and let your heart be your guide.

Don’t try to save up your life and keep it all for yourself.

You’ve got to get up and give it away, give it away.

If you hide yourself under the old bushel basket

One day you’ll surely find there’s nothing there, nothing there at all.

Do you want to make a difference with your life?

You must give up your self, and let your heart be your guide.
