Give Yourself Away

You were 25 and careless

You were talking with a scoffer's tongue

Yes, your two-edged sword

Was a throe to everyone

You were following your own desires

You were walking with a mulish gait

And your eyes were blind

To the sorrow on your face

I was making conversation

When I heard it from your mouth

And your words just came

Not knowing what you were talking about

I couldn't help but wander in

You were talking about the kingdom come

You were mesmerizing blind men

You were adding lies

But subtracting from the sum

And your life remains the same

And your life remains the same

And your life remains the same

Until you give it away

Until you give your life away

So I asked a pertinent question

And I could tell from your haggard gaze

You started looking pale

And your conduct seemed to change

You were blaspheming my Savior

So I had to set the record straight

I wasn't going to leave

Until you heard my faith

You weren't open to discussion

You were stubborn and you shouted out

"If there's a God

Then why can't we just leave him out?"

That was your point of view

I was trying just to get it through

That the only way for freedom

Was the Son of Man to reveal Himself to you

So I told you what you needed

You couldn't look me in the eye

Was your pride too deep

Or was that hole in your heart too wide

So you just walked away

You were scared to take that leap of faith

So I'll pray the Spirit leads you

And possibly we'll meet again someday
