I Gave It My AllBy Lynne Johnson-Yohnk
There once was a day I gave it all
They preached about holiness and giving up self,
The call came one day to give more than before
Money and time and self I gave up
Trying as hard as I might I gave more
"Give more. Give more", the preachers would cry,

"Lord, I heard what the preachers did say,
I look at them and it does seem to me
When I gave and gave as I was taught
When I asked them how to remedy this,

With religious cliches and happy quotes
Oh Lord, help me to always show,
