To Help God Give

God gives Himself as much as I can take,
He slowly lifts the veil so I can see,
He shows Himself for mine, not for His sake.
How much? He mostly leaves it up to me.

God is the light of truth for which I search,
He dawns on me from youth, but not too bright,
His light shines through my family and our Church,
to see more, I must keep Him in my sight.

God shows me more, the more my faith grows stronger,
the world’s distraction make the light grow dim,
it’s I decide if I look higher longer,
God’s sight’s on me, and mine should be on Him.

Lord, if more of Your light I want to know,
more of my faith and love I need to show.
