She Gave All She Had

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Slow and Soulful]
She gave all she had
She gave all she had
Others gave from plenty
But she gave all she had

Two little mites
Dropped softly in the offering
Nobody saw much
But Jesus saw everything

She gave all she had
She gave all she had
Heaven counted greater
What the crowd called small

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
Jesus sat watching
Beside the treasury

Many cast in much
For everyone to see

Then one poor widow
Came with open hands

She gave out of her need
And trusted God again

He saw her
He knew her

He measured
The sacrifice

[Chorus – Rising Strings and Restrained Brass Hits]
She gave all she had
She gave all she had
No silver in abundance
But she gave all she had

The sound was barely heard
When the coins touched the floor

But heaven heard surrender
And counted it as more

She gave all she had
She gave all she had
What looked like almost nothing
Was everything to God

[Bridge – Dynamic Choir Changes]
Two mites
Still worship

Small gift
Still worship

Empty hand
Still worship

Faith gave
Everything

Not what remained
After comfort was secured

She trusted the Provider
With the little she possessed

This woman
Gave more

This woman
Gave more

[Repetitive Run – Slow-Burning Choir Pocket]
He saw it
He saw it

Jesus saw her giving

He knew it
He knew it

Jesus knew the cost

Two mites
Two mites

All she had
Was two mites

Two mites
Two mites

But heaven called it great

She gave
She trusted

She gave
She worshiped

She gave
She believed

The Lord would still provide

More than the rich
More than the rich

Jesus said
She gave more

More than the sound
More than the show

The heart behind it
Made it more

[Choir Run – Powerful Layered Harmonies]
No name recorded
Still remembered

No speech spoken
Still remembered

No crowd cheering
Still remembered

Her quiet faith
Still remembered

God sees the hidden
God weighs the heart

God knows the cost
When obedience starts

She gave all she had
She gave all she had

And Jesus called
Her offering great

[Outro – Full Orchestra, Controlled Choir]
The temple stayed crowded
The offering moved on

But Jesus stopped teaching
To show what she had done

Two little coins
With a faith that would not fall

Others gave their excess
But she gave all she had

She gave all she had
She gave all she had

[Final Choir Hit]
Heaven called it more!
