Give It Away

Michael w. smith / wayne kirkpatrick / amy grant



She asked him for forever

And a promise that would last

He said, "babe, you know i love you

But i can't commit to that"

She said "love isn't love

'til you give it away"

A father lived in silence

Saw his son become a man

There was a distance felt between them

'cause he could not understand

That love isn't love

'til you give it away

You gotta give it away

Chorus:

As we live

Moving side by side

May we learn to give

Learn to sacrifice



We can entertain compassion

For a world in need of care

But the road of good intentions

Doesn't lead to anywhere

'cause love isn't love

'til you give it away

You gotta give it away



Chorus



Bridge:

Love is like a river

Flowing down from the giver of life

We drink from the water

And our thirst is no longer denied

You gotta give it away

Chorus



There was a man who walked on water

He came to set the people free

He was the ultimate example

Of what love can truly be

'cause his love was his life

And he gave it away

You gotta give it away



Chorus
