Intro
(Instrumental)
Verse 1
I walked thru storm, With trembling hands,
Where Dreams once stood like golden sand.
The night fell hard, the silence loud,
I bowed my head beneath the clouds.
But Deep within, A Whisper stayed,
Of "Ooze of grace", that softly prayed.
But the wind is strong, and your hope is thin,
Lean not on fear, let Me in.

Chorus
A bell's not a bell till you ring it,
A song's not a song till you sing it.
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay,
Love isn't love 'til you give it away,
So I give you Lord in every breath I take,
Your grace is sufficient even when I break.

Verse 2
I've walked thru storms, with trembling hands,
Where dreams once stood like golden sand,
And my fare heart, will sell its lie,
I bowed my head beneath the cry.
But deep with you, my wish you'd stay,
A Voice of grace they softly prayed,
When the one who's Strong and your hope is there,
Lean not on Fear, Let Me in.
Chorus
A bell's not a bell till you ring it,
A song's not a song till you sing it.
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay,
Love isn't love 'till you give it away,
So I give the Lord every fear and trial,
Your grace sustains me, mile by mile....
Bridge
I thought I'd break but you carried me on,
The wind beneath was always strong,
This love is not mine to keep,
So I give it away, and I sing…

Chorus
A bell's not a bell till you ring it,
A song's not a song till you sing it.
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay,
Love isn't love until you give it away,
So I give the Lord with every tear and trial,
Your grace sustains me mile by mile.
Vocal Break
…oh ohh ooh o..oh o hh oh o ohh.

Finale Verse
I thought I would break, but you carry me home,
The wind beneath my soul, made strong,
…this love is not mine to keep…
So I give it away …. and I sing….
