Because I Have Been Given Much (Special Lyrics)

Taken from Hymn Number 219:

Because I have been given much, I too must give;
Because of thy great bounty, Lord, each day I live,
I shall divide my gifts from thee,
with every brother that I see
who has the need of help from me.

Special verses written by participants in Affirmation, Gamofites, and Reconciliation:

Because I've been mistreated and misunderstood,
And told I was unworthy and I was no good,
I had to find my peace of mind,
Among the Saints of my own kind,
We will follow Jesus our own way.

Because I am a child of God, I do belong
To his great fa-mi-ly, though some would me disown.
No man can limit God's great love,
It come down from heaven above,
Upon his gay children like a dove.
