First Chorus:
The Lord gave to me,
And I must give to the next man.
The Lord gave to me, yes He did,
And I must give to the next man.

He turned around and He laid on me eternal life.
He gave me joy and peace of mind,
And took away all my strife,
And that's why now...

Second Chorus:
I'm gonna give to you,
And you must give to the next man.
I'm gonna give to you, yes I am,
And you must give to the next man.

I look into your eyes and all I see is darkness.
Your face is filled with lines from living in sheer torment.

And that's why now...

[Repeat Second Chorus]

I know you're looking for something
To fill you deep inside, my friend.
Your search will end the moment you ask the Lord Jesus in,
And you'll see that...

Third Chorus:
The Lord will give to you,
And you must give to the next man.
The Lord will give to you, yes He will,
And you must give to the next man.

[Repeat First Chorus]

And I must give to the next man,
And I must give to the next man,
And I must give to the next man,
And I must give to the next man.
[Repeat]
