Because You Gave
1. Just a little congregation gathered in the church house pews
Sunday after Sunday, our eyes are all on you
Though it’s not always easy, sometimes your strength seems gone
But thru it all you’ve shown us just how to carry on
2. No one knows the hours you have spent upon your knees
The tear stain on your pillow is something no one sees
But in Heaven there’s a record of all you say and do
And right now we’re giving honor where honor is due
Chorus: Because you gave just look around and see
All the lives that have been changed for eternity
Every sacrifice made a difference in our lives
That is why we say Thanks
That is why we’re here today because you gave
3. One day up in Heaven, you’ll hear Him say well done
And then you’ll hear Him call our names, each and every one
You’ll see us walk thru Heaven’s gates with tears in your eyes
We’ve all made it safely home and you’re the reason why
