Give it all away

What are we without you, nothing but the earth?
Nothing but the earth today
The door of our hearts be open wide,
‘Cause its time to give it all away
To give it all away means to hold nothing back
To hold nothing back is to obey
We can’t say we are waiting for a more convenient time
It's time to give it all away.

When you called them to follow, they all dropped their nets
They dropped their nets for you
If we had the same chance, would we do the same?
Or do we simply just have more to lose?
They followed in your footsteps and listened to your words
They walked with you God and saw your face
Why would we not take it if we had the chance?
To drink from your well of grace.

You sat them at a table to begin the final feast
And told them of the pain you would endure
That night there was a traitor sitting in your midst
He didn’t open up his heart he closed the door.
This bread is my body broken in two
This wine is my blood I say
Tomorrow there’ll be victory over death and the grave
That’s when I’ll give it all away
That’s when I’ll give it all away
My God gave it all away.
