Giver Starts Receiving
[Intro – whispered] Mmm… I gave from the overflow now overflow gives back to me I don’t close my hands anymore I am safe to receive [Verse 1] I was the river running I was the cup poured clean I knew how to hold the hurting I knew how to bless unseen But now the holy turns around and places flowers at my feet What I gave with honest love comes home soft and sweet [Pre-Chorus] No guilt in my receiving No shrinking from the light The giver starts receiving and it feels so right [Chorus] The giver starts receiving love is pouring both ways I open to the blessing I am done with one-way grace What I sent through the field returns alive and true The giver starts receiving and the whole world blooms [Post-Chorus] Ah-na, ah-ma, eh-ya-lei I receive the love today Sa-ra, oh-ma, na-vei Holy current, move both ways [Verse 2] I am not here to empty so another can feel full I am not here to disappear to prove my heart is pure My generosity is sacred my softness has a throne The love that moves through me remembers I am home [Pre-Chorus] I let devotion find me I let the good come near The giver starts receiving with no apology here [Chorus] The giver starts receiving love is pouring both ways I open to the blessing I am done with one-way grace What I sent through the field returns alive and true The giver starts receiving and the whole world blooms [Bridge] Hands that held are held now too Heart that blessed is blessed all through No more starving at the altar No more proving I am kind I receive what love is offering with my body, soul, and mind [Breakdown – deep pulse] Pour it back Fill my cup Love comes clean Rising up Pour it back Let it be What I gave in truth now returns to me [Final Chorus] The giver starts receiving love is pouring both ways I open to the blessing I am done with one-way grace What I sent through the field returns alive and true The giver starts receiving and the whole world blooms [Outro – whispered] Mmm… I gave from the overflow now overflow gives back to me The giver starts receiving I am safe to receive
