You Gave

When I was born you put breath in my body Gave me avoice so I could speak Hands to raise in praise to you Feet to walk the narrow way Eyes to watch the eastern sky All these things you gave to me They are mine to keep Except my soul----- I give back to you Thank you Lord for giving to me The greatest gift of life eternally.
