what if i give all?

he heard the preacher say

a single dime can feed

a hungry boy or girl

with nothing to eat

so he pulled a dollar

from the pocket of his jeans

and he asked his mama

how many will this feed?

she just smiled

and when she told him ten

he reached back again

what if i give all i have?

what will that gift do?

my child

a gift like that

could change the world

it could feed a multitude

he didn't close his eyes

or turn away

i can see him standing tall

he saw the need

and i can hear him say

what if i give all?

three birthday dollars

could have bought a special toy

but he reminds me

of another little boy

who gave to jesus

a gift of fish and bread

i wonder if he said

what if i give all i have?

what will that gift do?

my child

a gift like that

could change the world

it could feed a multitude

he didn't close his eyes

or turn away

i can see him standing tall

he saw the need

and i can hear him say

what if i give all?

and long ago a father and a son

saw the children lost in sin

can you see the tears

in the father's eyes

as jesus says to him

what if i gave all i have?

what will that gift do?

my son

that gift

will change the world

it will free the multitudes

what if i give all i have?

what will that gift do?

my child a gift like that

could change the world

it could feed a multitude

we cannot close our eyes

and turn away

when we hear his spirit call

we see the need

now let him hear us say

what if i give all?

what if i give all?
