you give your all


Your mercy washes new.

I hold back, you give all

I reserve, diminishing the call.

Other's in refusal or hesitation
 to them a deadly destination
Ananias and Sapphira with holding
But how sweet the voice of the one with in
No shouting or scolding

“Trust and give a better offering,
Unleashing is an answer to your prayers,
Giving unblemished prize,
Fostering in you a softer side”

Your mercy washes over me.

When I hold back, you give all.

Teach me holy spirit to answer the call

The initial pangs of release 
Filled eventually with peace
The greater gift mine
To Trust in the divine
Finding courage with each new stride
In obedience, your love magnified

If I hold back you, you always give your all
In Christ I cannot   fall

And yet in refusal how much is lost
Opportunity to say yes and not count the cost
To follow fearlessly
Giving all cheerfully

This the example of the one who answered the call
Not holding back his life, giving all.
