A song with new meaning...

I Will Offer Up My Life
By Matt Redman

"I will offer up my life in spirit and truth,
Pouring out the oil of love as my worship to you.
In surrender I must give my every part,
Lord, receive the sacrifice of a broken heart.

Jesus, what can I give?
What can I bring to so faithful a friend, to so loving a King?
Savior, what can be said?
What can be sung as a praise of Your name, for the things You have done?
Oh, my words could not tell, not even in part, of the debt of love that is owed by this thankful heart.

You deserve my every breath for You've paid the great cost;
Giving up your life to death, even death on a cross.
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin,
Opened up the gates of Heaven and have beckoned me in.

What can I give, what can I bring, what can I sing as an offering, Lord?

Oh, my words could not tell, not even in part, of the debt of love that is owed by this thankful heart."


...Amen.
