Given, Gift, Grace

You don't own the Spirit of Life, it is free
It is given, it is gift, it is grace
You don't own no land, no private property
It is given, it is gift, it is grace
You didn't buy or build your own body
It is given, it is gift, it is grace

Whoever clings to possess themselves
Becomes possessed, red in tooth and nail
And lose it all anyway, lose it all anyway
So let it go, so let it flow
It is given, it is gift, it is grace

When you go way back beyond the generations
Life is given, it is gift, it is grace
You find yourself in the wilderness of Exodus
A way provided by cloud and fire, it is grace
You didn't part the Red Sea with engineers and scientists
You're in awe, you're in wonder, it is grace

Whoever clings to possess themselves
Becomes possessed, red in tooth and nail
And lose it all anyway, lose it all anyway
So let it go, so let it flow
It is given, it is gift, it is grace

God's own Son didn't kill to mount the throne
Laid down his crown, became a servant Spirit of God
He washed the feet of those clinging to power
Let his feet be soaked by the tears of love
He descended into our fear of death
And found his pulse, found his heart, found his breath

Whoever clings to possess themselves
Becomes possessed, red in tooth and nail
And lose it all anyway, lose it all anyway
So let it go, so let it flow
It is given, it is gift, it is grace
It is given, it is gift, it is grace
