Verse 1
You were rich beyond compare
The heavens were your throne
With angels singing glory to you.
Yet you gave it all for us
You took the lonely cross
You came to bring the poor back to you
Oh this love has a grip on my soul
It’s the beat of my heart
Chorus
We give our lives away
We give it all to you
For you have shown us mercy
To bring you glory
We give you every day
And everything we do
‘Cause we have all we need in you
Verse 2
Heaven shouts: “You are the Lord!”
Creation stands in awe
The mighty oceans bow down to you
Yet you walked the dusty ground
You fed the hungry crowd
You loved to lift the weak up to you
Oh this love has a grip on my soul
It’s the beat of my heart
Bridge
This kindness lives in me
The love of Christ compels
Come make me more like you
Come make me more like you
Your Spirit within me
The love of Christ compels
Come make me love like you do
