Lyrics:     God, we give you all our gifts, for they have come by grace from you. Take them, bless them, use them for the work that you intend to do. We are grateful for your blessings, grace you give a million ways. May our gratitude resound through all our lives with joyous praise.     All that you entrust to us is meant for all the world to share; we are stewards of your grace to scatter wide your loving care. All our gifts are yours, not ours, and meant for us to humbly bear to the world, in trust that in our grateful giving you are there.     Take our treasure, all our earnings, all our silver and our gold; take in grace the things we cling to, those possessions that we hold. In our giving may we find release from fear and trust in thee, love for all, not just ourselves, for all the whole community.     Take our prayers, our loving presence; let compassion be our creed; help us be there for each other and for those in greater need. Take our many, varied, gifts, our works and service, God, employ; let our lives bear witness to your grace, with thanks and boundless joy.
