Analysis of Give the Lord a year
Chorus
Give the Lord a year That's all he's asking of you
He won't spend your money Your life will be new
If you give the Lord a year He will change you
Just give the Lord a year That's all he's asking from you
Taste that the Lord is grand
and know that he loves you When you can't
Don't try to hide behind someone else just Taste for yourself the grace that he has
Trust in the lord
all is at hand
And he will guide you from Satan's land
Don't try to fight on your own Just trust and believe he's carrying you
I have tasted and I know that he is gracious
I feel like a bird that has just been set free He saved and he pardoned my sins he set free
I gave the Lord a year He saved and he cleansed and he made me whole
There's no way I can turn from him now
Tag(repeat)
Just give the Lord a year
That's all he's asking from you
