[Intro] 
D A C Bm Bm/D
[verse 1]
A single voEice
Is joined by mDultitudes in sAong,
With every vEerse,
They're finding hDarmonies that rAise to Heaven sEure and strong.
EmRicher and richer the sDoil on which they tAhrive,
EmHigher and higher a hDymn of what it means to be Ealive
[chorus]
You've got to give a little mAore than you take,
You've got a leave a little mEore than was Dhere,
You maybe prideful of the stArides you will mEake,
But keep E7one thing clAear,E  
You're just a player in a mAuch bigger plan,
And still you have to give it aEll that you cDan,
The very measure of your sAoul is at stEake,
You've got to give a little mDore than you tAake.
C Bm
[verse 2]
The seasons fEly,
A man stDands where a boy once stAood,
His path unfEolds,
And unafrDaid he walks in sAervice of a gEreater good.
EmDeeper and deeper the lDessons he has kAnown,
EmOver and over the mDessage he is surely being sEhown
[chorus]
You've got to give a little mAore than you take,
You've got a leave a little mEore than was Dhere,
You maybe prideful of the stArides you will mEake,
But keep E7one thing clAear,E  
You're just a player in a mAuch bigger plan,
And still you have to give it aEll that you cDan,
The very measure of your sAoul is at stEake,
You've got to give a little mDore than you tAake.
[outro]
The very measure of your sAoul is at stEake,
You've got to give a little mDore than you tAake.
