Ooh, aah God-gave, and I took
You may write down all the things in life God has done for me
He gave me love, He gave me life, He gave me sweet peace
Ooh, aah God-gave, and I took
Sometimes in life He allows strife
To let me
Appreciate the sunshine and the rain
He gives me endless joy and sometimes spurs of pain
Ooh, aah God-gave, and I took
He makes me laugh when I misstep and makes me cry
He makes me know that life for me and brings love with a sigh
Ooh, aah God-gave, and I took
He brings light to every dark corner of my home
Leaves me with soft comfort like the moon
Checks my attitudes with a groan
Ah, aah God-gave, and I took
Yeah, ooh, ooh
He has the strength to lift my shade and brings me life, light
He also has the power to mystically end my life and bring dark night
Ooh, aah God-gave, and I took
