Give it back to You
All I wanna do
Give it back to You
(Hey, Hey, Hey) I know that You gave Your life for me.
(Hey, Hey, Hey) All because You came and set me free.
(Hey, Hey, Hey) But can I give a thank You for all You've done.
(All I wanna do)
All I wanna do (Give it back to You)
Give it all back to you (All I wanna do)
All I really wanna do yeah (Give it back to You)
Give it all back to You.
(Hey, Hey, Hey) On the money it says in God we trust.
(Hey, Hey, Hey) But I tried it before and it wasn't enough.
(Hey, Hey, Hey) Houses and cars may look real good.
(Hey, Hey, Hey) But all the money in the world can't buy Your touch.
(All I wanna do)
All I wanna do (Give it back to You)
Give it all back to you (All I wanna do)
All I really wanna do yeah (Give it back to You)

And I wanna give it,
And I wanna give it,
