Have We Any Gift Worth Giving
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr, b. 1944 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #872 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Lift Up Your Hearts Lyrics: 1 Have we any gift worth giving
to the Giver of all things?
What would please the ever living,
one true God from whom life springs?
Not dead gold or merchandise,
but a living sacrifice:
worship both profound and freeing,
serving God with all our being.
2 Christ by costly incarnation
dwelt in human time and place
to reveal to all creation
God’s redeeming love and grace;
so are we in flesh and bone
given means of making known
through the web of daily living
God’s own pattern of self giving.
3 Let us shun the selfish merit
worldly wisdom has defined,
but, renewed by God’s own Spirit,
be transformed in heart and mind;
by past mercies taught and led,
let us seek the path ahead,
trusting that, like those before us,
God will guide us and restore us. Topics: Discipleship; Evangelism; God's Gifts; Holy Spirit; Elements of Worship Offering Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: COSTLY GIFTS
