[Verse 1]
I gave it to You like I meant it this time
Laid it down and said, “Lord, it’s Yours, not mine”
But then my mind started racing again
Doubt crept in like an old familiar friend
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not that I don’t believe You care
It’s just sometimes my faith ain’t all there
But You don’t roll Your eyes, You don’t walk away
You just whisper, “Try again today”
[Chorus]
I gave it, then I took it back
Carried the weight ’til I started to crack
But Your mercy held what my hands let go
You’re patient with my yes and no
You don’t count the times I fall apart
You’re just glad I’m giving You my heart
If it takes a hundred tries to trust like that
You still take it every time I give it back
[Verse 2]
I beat myself up for the back-and-forth
But You remind me what grace is for
You’re not waiting for perfect, polished prayers
You’re just glad I know You’re there
[Pre-Chorus]
So I come again with trembling hands
You take what little faith I have
And every time I drop the load
You say, “That’s what My arms are for”
[Chorus]
I gave it, then I took it back
Carried the weight ’til I started to crack
But Your mercy held what my hands let go
You’re patient with my yes and no
You don’t count the times I fall apart
You’re just glad I’m giving You my heart
If it takes a hundred tries to trust like that
You still take it every time I give it back
[Bridge]
You’re not a one-and-done kind of King
You’re the God of every offering
Even if it’s broken, scared, or small
You still want it all
[Final Chorus]
I gave it, then I took it back
But You never once lost track
You stood with arms open wide
Not to scold, but to guide
And You don’t need me to get it all right
You just want me to keep coming to the Light
So if I give You the same thing time and again
You’ll take it with love, every time I let You in
[Tag]
You just say, “I’m here…give it to Me again.”
