In Return
(written by Marvin Winans)
(recorded by Bebe & Cece Winans)


Verse:
All I had to give
was a broken heart, torn apart.

All I had to give
was an empty hope and promises.

Chorus:
But in return You gave me joy
that could never be told.
And in return You gave me love
that was more precious than gold.

So whatever you have to give,
you don't have to be ashamed,
just come as you are and present it in Jesus' name.

For in return of a torn life,
He'll give you life abundantly.
And in return of a raging storm,
the Lord will calm the sea;
so whatever you have, the Lord has so much more,
so what do you have to give?

Bridge:
Oh if you were like me, you didn't have a lot of gold,
possessions, or money, you didn't own wealth untold.
But I'm glad You didn't look on the things that I had,
but You looked on the things You were able to give me.

Ending:
Oh, for in return He'll give you joy
that could never be told.
And in return He'll give you love
that was more precious than gold.

In return of a torn life,
He'll give you life abundantly.
And in return of a raging storm,
the Lord will calm the sea;
so what do you have to give?
