What if I give it all?

He heard the preacher say a single dime can feed
A hungry boy or girl with nothing to eat
So he pulled a dollar from the pocket of his jeans
And he asked his mama how many will this feed
She just smiled and when she told him ten
He reached back again

CHORUS:

What if I give all I have?
What will that gift do?
My child a gift like that could change the world
It could feed a multitude
He didn’t close his eyes or turn away
He saw the need and I can hear him say
What if I gave all

Three birthday dollars could have bought a special toy
But he reminds me of another little boy
Who gave to Jesus a gift of fish and bread
I wonder if he said

REPEAT CHORUS

And long ago a Father and a Son
Saw the children lost in sin
Can you see the tears in the Father’s eyes
As Jesus says to Him

What if I give all I have?
What will that gift do?
My Son, that gift will change the world
It will free the multitudes
What if I give all I have?
What will that gift do?

My child, a gift like that can change the world
It could feed a multitude
We cannot close our eyes and turn them away
When we hear His Spirit call
We see the need now, let us hear us say
What if I give all?
What if I give all?

Ray Boltz 1996

This song was inspired by the young boy who gave the little of what he had to Jesus and it was multiplied that it fed thousands of people (John 6)
Let's learn to give all that we have to God. Let Him multiply it and bless the multitude.
