Lyrics
1.In return for all you do I hope that I can be
An open vessel for your love and light to pour from me.
To pour upon this needy world wherever I may go,
To pour upon the ones I love, the people that I know.
CHORUS
For you have blessed me greatly
And you have set me free.
In return for all you do
I give my life to you.
2.In return for saving me, a prisoner of sin
For showing me a better way to live the life I'm in.
I hope that I can give at least a measure of the love,
That you have given unto me from heaven up above.
CHORUS
3.And in return for giving me the Spirit that is you
For love and joy and wisdom and a power that is true.
I patiently await the day when you'll return again,
For I already hold your hand, my Master and my friend.
CHORUS
