Because I Have Been Given Much  (Capo 1 for Ab)

Verse 1
    G                    C            D        G
   Because I have been given much, I too must give
    Em                   A7                 D7
   Because of thy great bounty, Lord, each day I live
             G                   D7
   I shall divide my gifts from thee
                B7            Em
   With every brother that I see
       G                D7       G
   Who has the need of help from me.

Verse 2
    G                    C               D        G
   Because I have been sheltered, fed by thy good care.
    Em            A7               D7
   I cannot see another’s lack and I not share
             G                   D7
   My glowing fire, my loaf of bread
                  B7          Em
   My roof’s save shelter overhead
        G               D7     G
   That he too might be comforted

Verse 3
    G                    C            D      G
   Because love has been lavished so upon me Lord
    Em                   A7               D7
   A wealth I know that was not meant for me to hoard
             G                   D7
   I shall give love to those in need.
                B7             Em
   Shall show love by word and deed
        G                  D7       G
   Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.
