God Gave Us

©2009 Garrett Clevenger

G C G God gave us plants so we could breath the air.

D C G God gave us grain to grind for bread and beer.

Am C G D God gave us oil to fuel our cars and so we could fly high to the stars.

G D G God gave us senses so we could change gear.

G C G God gave us hands so we could build what's here.

D C G God gave us brains so we could think clear.

Am C G D God gave us fire to keep us warm, so we could weather any storm.

G D G God gave us touch so we could feel what's dear.

Chorus:

C D G What do we give God in return

C D G besides claiming to know who God wants us to spurn?

C G   We take and use, waste and lose. God's creation's got a bruise.

D C G Do you suppose God feels what we do?

G C G God gave us love so we could help each other.

D C G God gave us light so we could see through fear.

Am C G D    God gave us life se we could know what it's like to feel so.

G D G God gave us eyes so we might cry some tears.

G C G God gave us mothers so they could give us birth.

D C G God gave us Mother Earth. What has more worth?

Am C G D God gave us the sun to fuel it all, the good, the bad, the big, the small.

G D G God gave us water, to quench our thirst.
