Acts 3 Worship Song
“Silver and Gold I Do Not Have” is a Christian worship song based on Acts chapter 3, inspired by Peter and John healing the lame man at the Beautiful Gate in the name of Jesus Christ. With a joyful and uplifting style, this song reflects the message, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give to you,” encouraging believers to share the love, hope, and life of Jesus with others.
“Silver and Gold I Do Not Have” is a worship song inspired by Acts chapter 3. In this passage, Peter and John meet a man who had been lame from birth at the temple gate called Beautiful. The man was hoping to receive money, but Peter said to him, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you.” Then, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, he told him to rise up and walk. Through that moment, God’s power was revealed openly before the people.
This song retells that Bible story in a joyful, simple, and easy-to-sing way. The first two verses focus on the miracle at the Beautiful Gate, showing the journey from waiting for human help to receiving healing through the name of Jesus. The chorus centers on the powerful line, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give to you,” which becomes the heart of the song. It is not only Peter’s declaration in that moment, but also a reminder for believers today.
The third verse brings the message into our daily lives. Many of us feel that we do not have enough strength, resources, or ability to offer others. Yet this song reminds us that God is not asking us to give what we do not have. He calls us to offer what He has already placed in our hands. A kind word, a prayer, a smile, encouragement, or simple compassion can become a channel of God’s love and grace.
More than anything, “Silver and Gold I Do Not Have” points us to the truth that the greatest gift we can give is not found in earthly wealth, but in sharing the hope, love, and life of Jesus. May this song encourage every listener to trust that even what seems small in our hands can become a blessing when offered in His name.
Acts 3
3 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
(Acts 3 )

Verse 1
At the Beautiful Gate, there was a man every day,
Sitting there and asking, hoping someone on the way.
He had never walked before, only reaching out for grace,
Then Peter and John came by, and he looked up to their face.
Oh oh oh, he looked up high,
Oh oh oh, for help nearby.
Who could know the power of God
Would come down in that very time.
Verse 2
Peter fixed his eyes on him and said, “Look at us now.”
“Silver and gold I have none, but I’ll give what God allows.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise and walk,”
Then he jumped up, stood up, walked around, praising God with all his heart.
Oh oh oh, he jumped right up,
Oh oh oh, he stood right up,
Walking, leaping, praising God,
Hallelujah, what a wonder.
Chorus
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
In the mighty name of Jesus,
I will give His life and hope to you.
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
To you, oh oh oh, to you,
Not by my own strength,
But His love is flowing through.
Verse 3
We are often saying, “Lord, I do not have enough,”
Not enough strength or power, and life can feel so tough.
But You remind us gently, You have placed Your grace in us,
A little love, a little kindness, can become a gift of hope.
Oh oh oh, I want to give,
Oh oh oh, I want to go,
Take my time and take my smile,
Let Your love through me be shown.
Chorus
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
In the mighty name of Jesus,
I will give His life and hope to you.
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
Bridge
Where there is Jesus, there is hope,
Where there is Jesus, there is strength.
Though I have little, though I seem small,
Still the Lord can use me.
Oh oh oh, use me now.
Where there is Jesus, there is hope,
Where there is Jesus, there is light.
All I have, I give to You,
Let Your love flow out today.
Oh oh oh, flow out now.
Final Chorus
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
In the mighty name of Jesus,
I will give His life and hope to you.
Silver and gold I have none, have none,
But what I have I give to you.
To you, oh oh oh, to you,
Silver and gold I have none,
But what I have I give to you.
Oh oh oh, to you.
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us through this song that the greatest gift we can give is not silver or gold, but the name of Jesus, the hope of the gospel, and the love You have poured into our lives. So often we feel like we do not have enough, not enough strength, not enough ability, not enough to offer others. But today You remind us that when we place ourselves in Your hands, You can use even the little we have to bless someone else.
Lord, help us not only to sing, “What I have I give to you,” but to live it out in real life. Give us hearts that are willing to love, willing to serve, willing to pray, willing to encourage, and willing to reach out to those who are hurting. Teach us not to despise what You have placed in our hands. A kind word, a prayer, a smile, a moment of compassion, or faithful presence can become a vessel of Your grace.
We also ask that You would keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Remind us that true healing, true strength, and true transformation do not come from ourselves, but from the power of Christ. Use our words, our hands, and our lives to carry Your love to others. Let us be people who do not simply see need, but who respond in faith and point others to You.
Today we also pray for the people around us. Please strengthen those who are weak, comfort those who are discouraged, and help those who are struggling in silent pain. Make us a real blessing to them. We also pray for the world. May those who do not yet know You hear the good news of Jesus. May Your light shine in dark places, Your peace come to troubled nations, and Your healing reach many lives. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
