I Give Myself Away
William Mc Dowell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

Here I am
Here I am
Here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I'm longing to see
Your desires revealed in me
I give myself away

I give myself away (I want to be use by you)
So You can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

Take my heart
Take my life
As a living sacrifice
All my dreams all my plans
Lord I place them in your hands

I give myself away (I give myself away)
I give myself away
So You can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

I give myself away (I give myself away)
I belong to you I give myself away
(I give myself away)
So You can use me
Lord I give myself away I give myself away (my mind doesn't belong to me) I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

My life is not my own
To you I belong
I give myself, I give myself to you

Oh oh my life is not my own
To you I belong
I give myself, I give myself to you

My life is not my own
To you I belong
I give myself, I give myself to you

My life is not my own (my life is not my own) it belongs to you
To you I belong (so I give myself)
I give myself, I give myself to you

My life is not my own
To you I belong
I give myself, I give myself to you (so You can use me)

I give myself away
My life is not my own
To you I belong (I give myself away)
I give myself, I give myself to you (so You can use me)

I give myself away (my life is not my own)




To you I belong (I give myself away)
I give myself, I give myself to you (so You can use me)
