A Gift To You


It is next to impossible to get a video of any sort of performance from my kids as they're strangely camera-shy. So I was absolutely delighted when they agreed to let me take a video of this song that has been one of their favorites since learning it in Sunday School. Frankly, this is far from their usual standard as they normally sing with better musicality and accuracy of pitch. But it is already a major accomplishment to even manage a recording in the first place!

As with most things (learning academically or memorizing verses), Jayna has a better grasp of the lyrics while Joash sings with much more sincerity. I love singing this song with my children too as it reminds us that our lives belong to God and we are to live it solely for Him. Here's the full lyrics to the song:

A Gift To You

(Verse 1)
Everything I am, Everything I'll be
I give it to You Lord
And do it thankfully, thankfully

(Chorus)
Every song I sing, Every praise I bring
Every thing I do, It's a gift to You

(Verse 2)
Everything I have, All You've given me
I'll give it to You Lord,
And do it thankfully, thankfully
