Because I Have Been Given Much

verse 1 

    G                    C            D        G 
   Because I have been given much, I too must give 
    Em                   A7                 D7 
   Because of thy great bounty, Lord, each day I live 
             G                   D7 
   I shall divide my gifts from thee 
                B7            Em 
   With every brother that I see 
       G                D7       G 
   Who has the need of help from me. 

verse 2 

    G                    C               D        G 
   Because I have been sheltered, fed by thy good care. 
    Em            A7               D7 
   I cannot see another’s lack and I not share 
             G                   D7 
   My glowing fire, my loaf of bread 
                  B7          Em 
   My roof’s save shelter overhead 
        G               D7     G 
   That he too might be comforted 

verse 3 

    G                    C            D      G 
   Because love has been lavished so upon me Lord 
    Em                   A7               D7 
   A wealth I know that was not meant for me to hoard 
             G                   D7 
   I shall give love to those in need. 
                B7             Em 
   Shall show love by word and deed 
        G                  D7       G 
   Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.
