GIVE

Snippet

You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

There's another day you might want to know about: Giving 

Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday 

after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-

buying and donate what they can to charity. Bill Gates

Scripture

“In every way I've shown you that by laboring like “this, it is necessary to 

help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said, 

‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35 HCSB

Give This Christmas Away Matthew West

http://youtu.be/9BVGkb5bxRY

What if I told you?

You have the power

To give someone hope

Far beyond their wildest dreams

What if I told you it’s right there in your hands?

In your hands

It's hard to imagine

How something so small

Can make all the difference

Tear down the tallest wall

What if December looked different this year?

What if we all just

Give this Christmas away

If there’s love in your heart

Don’t let it stay there

Give this Christmas away

And your life will be changed

By the gift you receive

When you give this Christmas away

It’s feeding the hungry

It’s serving the poor

It’s telling the orphan

You’re not forgotten anymore

It’s doing what love does

Even when no one’s watching you

Give this Christmas away

If there’s love in your heart

Don’t let it stay there

Give this Christmas away

And your life will be changed

By the gift you receive

When you give this Christmas away

For God so loved the world, He gave His only son

So we could be His hands, His feet, His love

His love

What if I told you?

You have the power

To give someone hope

Far beyond their wildest dreams

What if December looked different this year?

What if we all just

Give this Christmas away

If there’s love in your heart

Don’t let it stay there

Give this Christmas away

And your life will be changed

By the gift you receive

When you give this Christmas away

Give this Christmas away

You have the power

Just give it away

Give it away, give it away

Give it away, give it away

(Give it away)

(Give Christmas away)

Give it away

Sentence Prayer

Gracious God,

You have given us much today;

Grant us also a thankful spirit.

Into your hands we commend ourselves

And those we love.

Be with us still and when we take our rest

Renew us for the service of your son Jesus Christ.

Amen
