GIVE AND TAKE

Lyrics by Stan C. Countz © April, 2008 Valley Views Productions

V1
We gotta give and take; it’s a two way street
Life can be just great if we’ll give and take
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
So take time to pray and make time for joy

BRIDGE
To maintain the fire, we gotta fan the flame
To obtain our desires, gotta go against the grain
Gotta make our lemons into lemonade
Almost just ain’t good enough
‘cept in horseshoes and hand grenades

CHORUS
We gotta give and take; it’s a two way street
We need to take a break: to turn the other cheek
We all make mistakes but we can rise above defeat
We need His love, His grace and we need His peace
‘Cuz on judgment day___ He’s gonna give and take

V2
Sometimes we have to make a trade
To take a step back to move ahead
Sometimes we’re afraid to laugh
so we cry instead; we think we’re livin’
when we’re really dead inside

PRE-CHORUS
Sometimes we seek; sometimes we hide
Sometimes we’re meek; sometimes we’re full of pride
We’re either Doctor Jekyll or Mister Hyde
But, either way, we gotta give and take

CHORUS
We gotta give and take; it’s a two way street
We need to take a break: to turn the other cheek
We all make mistakes but we___ can rise above defeat
We need His love. His grace and we need His peace
‘Cuz on judgment day___ He’s gonna give and take

OUTRO
Make no mistake, the dead in Christ shall wake
And the foundations of the earth will shake
He’ll never leave or forsake us; never bend or break us
He’ll mold and make us just like His son; we’ve only just begun
But we can___make a brand___ new start
if we’ll give and take with all our heart
We can _____make a brand new start
if we’ll give and take with all our heart
