What can I give Him
Royston 1946 (Reading)
What can I give to the One who came and gave His all
as I bow before Him now and in deep reverence fall?
For He is God my Creator and He is Christ my Lord,
and has no need of Gold and silver, or of empty words.
Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to His cross I cling,
proclaiming Him as my Saviour and the King of kings.
And as I kneel here before Him with a heart of love so full
I give Him the only gifts I can, my life, my soul, my all.
