Give Yourself Away by Russell Cushman

1) She waits on tables
scrubs the floor-
a smile for the stranger
that comes through the door.
from the cook to the ice man,
she brightens their day
in countless little ways
she gives herself away


Chorus: Workin’ for a Kingdom,
she always finds a way.
She fills up the cup and
she gives herself away.
Gives herself away,
Gives herself away,
When you walk with Him,
you want to give yourself away.


2) He puts down on canvas
As God lights his eye.
Hangs his heart on the wall
and lets the message fly.
Through his mind and his hands
God will have His say.
The art is just a gift,
as he gives himself away.


Workin’ for the Kingdom,
He always forms a way.
He fills up the pallette
then gives himself away
Give yourself away,
Give yourself away,
when you belong to Him,
you want to give yourself away.




3) She nurtures little minds
sometimes against their will.
Plants hope in this country’s
Relent less baby mill.
Hugs and praises touch each
Thought passage way.
She melts love into learning
as she gives herself away.


Workin’ for the Kingdom,
He always makes a way.
He gives the perfect words so
She can give herself away.
Give yourself away,
Give yourself away,
when you trust in Him,
you want to give yourself away.



4) It’s been two millennia-
His life of perfection.
He tried to win our hearts
and change our direction.
Gave His life as a ransom
on a bloody cross one day-
for our transgressions,
He gave Himself away.


Workin’ for the Kingdom,
He came to pave the way.
sipped from the cup
and gave himself away.
Gave himself away -
Give yourself away,
when you belong to Him,
you want to give yourself away.




5) They work each hour
In an Eternal machine.
To the glory of the Lord,
Their Master is unseen.
Purchased with a price
thru their work and their play,
They are Jesus in the flesh,
As they give themselves away.


Workin’ for the Kingdom,
He has always made a way.
He fills up your cup so
you can give yourself away.
Give yourself away,
Give yourself away,
when you believe in Him,
you give yourself away.


Give yourself away,
Give yourself away…
when you believe in Him…
you give yourself away.

Have to, want to,
really love to...

give

yourself

away.
