English text
The gifts that you gave me,
when you called me from the darkness,
are the gifts that I give you.
I have nothing else to give.
But the life that you gave me,
when you breathed your breath into me,
and the things you have provided
that my body now may live.
But I cling to my pleasures like a drowning man to wreckage,
and I would not share my treasures
with the ones who sink and die.
Oh my Lord, free my fingers from possessions that possess me,
and teach me how to share them,
and to trust you will provide.
The gifts that you gave me,
when you called me from the darkness,
are the gifts that I give you.
I have nothing else to give.
And I offer what you offered
when you breathed your life into me,
and your gifts so freely given,
take them now that I may live.
