[Verse 1]
Em G
The gifts you give were never mine alone
Em G
The toe-beans, paws and feathers in my home
Em G
The furry snuggles and purring sounds at night
Em G
Those little creatures I love with all my might
Am C G
These gifts you give are here for the shortest time
Am C G
Thank you God that they are yours and they're not mine
[Chorus]
D Am
There's always room to fit more love in
C G
I'll take your gifts time and time again
D Am
And when the loss seems way too much to bear
C G
I'll think of all the fun they're having with You way up there
G D Am
If you need me Lord, just bring them to my door
C G
I can always love just one more
G D Am
If you need me Lord, just bring them to my door
C G
I can always love just one more
[Verse 2]
Em G
Em G
The gifts You give are a testament of your wonder
Em G
I just wish I could love them a little longer
Em G
I love the way they see me, the way that I see you
Em G
And when I'm feeling I know they are feeeling too
Am C G
You gave us dominion over every living thing
Am C G
But when they turn around and love it's us who wins
[Chorus]
D Am
There's always room to fit more love in
C G
I'll take your gifts time and time again
D Am
When the loss seems way too much to bear
C G
I'll think of all the fun they're having with You way up there

If you need me Lord, bring them to my door
C G
I can always love just one more

If you need me Lord, bring them to my door
C G
I can always love just one more
[Verse 3]
Em G
Em G
The gifts you give are given all through life
Em G
Whether you're a father, son, a daughter or wife
Em G
The gifts you give may not last enough years
Em G
and when they're gone I could drown in all my tears
Am C G
But your voice whispers and reminds me they are yours
Am C G
To keep my heart open, because the others are not yet born
[Chorus]
D Am
There's always room to fit more love in
C G
I'll take your gifts time and time again
D Am
And when the loss seems way too much to bear
C G
I'll think of all the fun they're having with You way up there
D Am
If you need me Lord, bring them to my door
C G
I can always love just one more
D Am
If you need me Lord, just bring them to my door
C G
I can always love just one more
D Am
If you need me Lord
C G
I can always love just one more
