living sacrifice

 

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Romans 12:1

My Lord I offer to You... me

all that I am I give to You

my self wants it back

but I must go through

with offering the living sacrifice

I live in a body, Lord, as You did

when You lived and died for me

You know what I do in this body

I can't hide from what You see

so as I live, I'll be the living sacrifice

You have given life, Lord, to me

I live and breath and have my being

by Your grace and mercy I am strong

and from sin's control Your Spirit is freeing

me, so that I can be the living sacrifice

Holy and acceptable to God now

because of what Jesus did for me too

I have something precious, redeemed by Christ

to care for, love, and give back now to You

as I offer You my own life, the living sacrifice
