Sidewalk Prophets - Give It All Away lyrics

I've held on for all this time To something that was never mine I've kept Your love like there was none to spare I've heard the call and seen the need But I've been lost in apathy When did I get to comfortable to care? The world is crying out So hungry for a change Lord, let us be the ones to say Take my heart Lord I pray That I can give it all away Let me give it all away Cause I long to feel compa**ion For a world that needs Your grace Take my heart I want to give it all away You have filled this empty soul With mercy that has overflowed The way You give to me seems so unfair So here is my life it's all for the one Who gave it all in the name of love Now this hope You give to me I've got to share The world is crying out So hungry for a change Lord, let us be the ones to say Take my heart Lord, I pray That I can give it all away Let me give it all away Cause I long to feel compa**ion For a world that needs Your grace Take my heart I want to give it all away Let us be the change Let us be Your light Let us be Your hope And let us give it all away Let us be the change Let us be Your light Let us be Your hope I want to give it all... So, take my heart Lord, I pray That I can give it all away Let me give it all away Cause I long to feel compa**ion For a world that needs Your grace Take my heart I want to give it all away Take my heart I want to give it all away Take my heart I want to give... I've held on for all this time To something that was never mine Behind the Song: "Give It All Away calls for us to share everything in the name of Christ. The song begins and ends with the line, "I've held on for all this time, to something that was never mine." We often feel that we have to desperately keep all that God has provided, whether it is money or even love. We long to help and do what is right, but fear often blinds us to the struggles of those that surround us. I have long believed that the opposite of love was not hate but, rather, fear. We are so scared by the unknown, and hate is just a version of that fear. "Give It All Away" is our prayer for the strength to overcome the fear and simply give what Christ has called us to give, everything. "Take my heart. I want to give it all away!"" - Sidewalk Prophets
