[Chorus]
GHe D7wanted Gme as a worker Cbee.
CI wanted for Gme to be me and A7not be sD7een.
GHe D7wanted Gme to forget green Cfees
CHe said, “go and be a trusGtee, and D7give God Gmore.”
[Verse 2]
GI was thinking; that’s a job, I want no work to D7do.
D7Someone else can do the work and give the offering Gtoo.
GI thought, “I’ll go find a new church where nothing else is Cdue.
CI heard a voice say, “GJonah’s choice, but D7grace for yGou.”
[Chorus]
GHe D7wanted Gme as a worker Cbee.

GHe D7wanted Gme to forget green Cfees

GHe D7wanted Gme to forget green Cfees
CHe said, “go and be a trusGtee, and D7give God Gmore.”
[Verse 5]

D7Remember to pray, be present and give, living the vows is an Gart
GWe share out of faith, we share our gifts, it puts us on a great Cstart
CWhat we give shows lGove for God, its D7not WalGmart.
[Chorus]
GGod D7wants me Ga disciple, Cme?
CI just want Gme to be me and A7God be D7seen.
GI D7receive GGod’s grace that is Cfree,
CGod said, “be a Gservant for me, and D7give love Gmore.”
