The Giver

He gave me His shoulder when I wanted to cry,
He gave me hope when I wanted to die.

He gave me a friend when I was alone,
He sent me His love and gave me a home.

He gave me understanding when I was in need,
I needed to grow He planted a seed.

He gave me peace when I was in doubt,
I was ready to drown but he pulled me out.

I thought He gave all one man could give;
But then He gave me His life so through Him I could live.

His final gift of love was done for you and me.
He gave us all He had, when they nailed him to a tree.
