Gift Worth Saving
(Jacob McGowen)
1st Verse:
Whispers and laughter, they surrounded you
And I was crippled by your tears
You came home and how I ran to you
And I did hold you through the years
But, now you’re grown
And out there in the world
Hoping to find yourself a life
But, as you work and toil
Remember child!
There’s a truth I cannot hide!
That I can’t ever deny!
Chorus:
You might have been a burden
But you’re a greater blessing!
And you are a gift!
That was worth saving!
(Repeat 2x)
2nd Verse:
You view life as a competition
You tend to think it isn’t fair
That others get things
That you want most
With little worries and little cares
And so you stay in isolation
And think you won’t ever be free
But there is One who offers to heal
And in His Truth, you can believe
What He tells you, He tells me
2nd Chorus:
He carried our burdens!
And He bore our suffering!
He knew when He did
We were worth saving!
(Repeat 2x)
Bridge:
Before we were born, we were known by Him
He made us in our mother’s womb
Before time began, He had a plan
To free us from sin that consumes
(Repeat 2x)
3rd Chorus:
Know you are a treasure!
Know you are a blessing!
Know you are a gift!
That is worth saving!
So, when I’m with Jesus
And you’re left here mourning
Just trust in the One!
Who is never changing!
