Everything I Own

What would I give to be pure in heart

To be pure in flesh and bone

What would I give to be pure in heart

I’d give everything that I own

I'd let the light in and sweep out the dust

And open the windows of trust

And out of those windows all fear will have flown

I’d give everything that I own

What would I give for the words of God

To come tumbling from the throne

What would I give for the words of God

I’d give everything that I own

I’d open my head and they’d roll right in

When I opened my mouth they’d roll out again

And uproot the weeds of the deeds I have sown

I’d give everything that I own

Now what would I give for my children’s strength

On the day that they stand alone

I mean what would I give for their strength to stand

firm

I’d give everything that I own

I’ve wasted my life in accomplishing things

Ignoring the giver of wings

So Lord teach them to fly to the foot of your throne

I’ll give everything that I own

All I’ve accomplished, the titles I hold

My passions, position, possessions and gold

To God they must look like a thimble of foam

And it’s everything that I own

Dirty rags are all that I own

So I stand before God with my stubble and hay

He just laughs, but says there’s still a way

Because “Father, Forgive” are the words Jesus moaned

When He gave everything that He owned

So what would I give to be pure in heart

For the known to be made unknown

What would I give to be born again?
