Everything is lost, uh oh
But I know that you can take it to the Lord
Everything you want, uh oh
Is it all that you can gather for yourself?

Do you love a lot, uh oh?
It's the love that changes gifts to everyone
Everything is lost, uh oh
Is it strange that you perpetuate yourself?

You wonder what it costs, uh oh
It's the joy that he will carry to the door
Everything is lost, uh oh
Still I know that you can take it to the world

All that he has given to the world
All that he has given to the world
All that he has given to the world
All that he has given to the world

All that he has given to the world
All that he has given to the world
