 D#  Cm   G#                  A#
You have given everything to me.
           G# G#/A# D#
What can I do for You?
 D#  Cm   G#               A#
You have given me eyes to see.
           G# G#/A# D#
What can I do for You?

Chorus:
 Cm               D#/A#          G#                D#/G
Pulled me out of bondage and You made me renewed inside,
 Cm          A#             D#             Fm
Filled up a hunger that had always been denied,
Cm                 D#/A#                 G#        D#/G   Fm
Opened up a door no man can shut and You opened it up so wide
            Cm         D#/A#          G#
And You've chosen me to be among the few.
                   D#
What can I do for You?

You have laid down Your life for me.
What can I do for You?
You have explained every mystery.
What can I do for You?

Chorus:
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly,
He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Who would deliver him from the death he's bound to die?
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.
What can I do for You?

You have given all there is to give.
What can I do for You?
You have given me life to live.
How can I live for You?

Chorus:
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,
I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,
Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Well, I don't deserve it but I sure did make it through.
What can I do for You?
