From a pauper to a praiser, ever since I met my savior
From a man whose blind that suddenly can see
From a taker to a giver, from a creek bed to a river
That is flowing out from deep inside of me
I was a pauper now a praiser I will be
I spent my time planning how to store up all my wealth
Somehow I convinced me it was all about myself
I didn’t mind who I was grieving as long as I was just receiving
Till He showed me that I lived in poverty
But when I gave it up, I could see
(Chours)
I thought that the abundant life meant get all that I could
I guess the word “abundance” I never really understood
Till the Holy Spirit showed it, I was poor but didn’t know it
But I was listening the moment He said “come”
I stepped out in faith and I went from
(chours)
To be the Lord’s disciple you must give up all your rights
I know that their not easy to release without a fight
But if you really want your freedom, turn them loose cause you won’t need ‘em
I know that seems hard to understand, But Jesus always has a better plan
Chours
