~ Everything I Own ~

Everything I Own

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I've ever known
Were all the years I had with you
And . . .

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

Is there someone you know
You're loving them so
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear
The words you long to say

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again . . .

"God comforts us in the pressures we have to endure . . .
Remember that "comfort" does not mean relief from the pressure.
It is not a feather bed to lie on or a cushion to absorb the blows.
It means, literally, "with strength."
God gives to the person who trusts Him strength to bear the pressures.
Remember, too, that it is always given for
The added purpose of equipping us to help others who need comfort."
~L. D. Johnson
