about

I wrote this song in 2007 by request for an international CD to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Brothers of Charity, FC. I chose to compose a traditional offertory song. Something I would have played at the guitar mass. It was a blessing to be raised and educated by this dedicated and exceptional order from1973-1982 at Triest Hall in Laverock, PA. Thank you, Bro. John Fitzgerald and all of the Brothers! Here's to the good work you do everyday. All over the globe.
****************************************
(REFRAIN)

All that I ask is to give as you gave,
Show me the way to live.
Grant me the courage and I will be brave,
In the spirit you gave-
I give.

(VERSE 1)
I give of my time,
I give of my soul,
To those who are sick and in need.
I bring them your love,
I bring them your peace,
In my every action and deed.

(REFRAIN)
All that I ask is to give as you gave,
Show me the way to live.
Grant me the courage and I will be brave,
In the spirit you gave-
I give.

(VERSE 2)
With every new challenge
I call on your strength,
To help me in all that I do.
With every new sunrise beginning again,
I offer my days up to you.

(REFRAIN)
All that I ask is to give as you gave,
Show me the way to live.
Grant me the courage and I will be brave,
In the spirit you gave-
I give.

(BRIDGE)
(optional for the service)

You told your disciples to love one another
Even as I have loved you.
The gift you bestowed when you taught us to love,
Is present in all that I do.

(instrumental refrain)

(VERSE 3)
To aid those who suffer,
The hungry and poor,
Your spirit is always my guide.
With kindness and mercy,
Compassion and joy,
Your faith, hope and love will abide.

(REFRAIN)
All that I ask is to give as you gave
Show me the way to live.
Grant me the courage and I will be brave,
In the spirit you gave, I give.

And you live…
