A little 'before and after' tune about my life and what I've learned while walking through it. (James Griffiths on lead guitar.)
Let's just call it a "Cyber Ministry"!!!!
Story behind the song
There was a time in my life when I was "doing it on my own" and thought I was a pretty good old boy. Then I took a real good look at myself and found out there was a better way, and discovered what real life is.
Lyrics
GIVING IT UP
© Duane Rod
There was a time I walked alone
Trying to survive and make it on my own
A slave to the world, a slave to sin
Now I’m giving it up, and living for Him
Life is given by God, as a gift it’s free
To live as I choose, for Him or me
Living for myself is empty and cold
So I’m giving it up for a crown of gold
CHORUS
You gotta give it up, you gotta turn it over to Christ
Why don’t you let your life be a sacrifice
You gotta lay it all down, you gotta put it on the line
Why don’t you take a little trip on some heavenly wine
Turning it loose, letting it go
Saying yes to Christ, telling satan no
In submission to the King I’m giving it up
I’m drinking new wine from a heavenly cup
Many are searching, for what they don’t know
There’s a deep dark hole way down in their soul
New life in Christ is the only way
Give your life to Him, give it up today
