[Verse]
E A
Lay the gift into our hands:
F#m B
God-with-us here in our world
G# C#m B A
bread and wine, God-become-man
F#m B E
We receive your mercy, Lord.
[Chorus]
F#m B
Even the hands that we're holding you with,
E C#m
even the eyes that behold:
F#m B
All that we have and we hold is your gift;
E E7
all that we're made of is yours.
F#m B
Give us the body and give us the blood;
E C#m
give us the heartbeat and breath.
A B E
Give us, Love, yourself.
[Verse]
E A
Nothing here won by our hands;
F#m B
all is grace, nothing we've earned.
G# C#m B A
Here like poor shepherds we stand:
F#m B E
We receive your mercy, Lord.
[Chorus]
F#m B
Even the songs that we're praising you with,
E C#m
even the off'rings we bring:
F#m B
All that we make and we Do is your gift,
E E7
all that we give to our king.
F#m B
You are the body and you are the blood;
E C#m
you are the heartbeat and breath.
A B E
You are Love, itself.
[Verse]
E A
Let your gifts flow through our hands,
F#m B
from your heart into the world,
G# C#m B A
reaching out to every land.
F#m B E
We receive your mercy, Lord.
[Chorus]
F#m B
Even the roads that we travel today,
E C#m
even the gold and the myrrh,
F#m B
even the smoke rising up as we pray:
E E7
These are the gifts you confer.
F#m B
Live in our bodies and live in our blood;
E C#m
live in our heartbeat and breath,
A B E
Jesus, live in us.
