Lord, I Offer My Life To You (Song)

This song has been running through my mind for the past few days... and the chorus clenches my heart, for it's so soulful.



I guess I like this song so much, because it's a song that naturally compels you to mediate on it as you listen.

(Verse 1)
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

Everything I've been through...
What sweet experiences have you been through,
and what shames seared you, even in church?

What joys and successes did you exult in with others,
and what sorrows wept you in the corner alone?

What roses did you once pick to tenderly caress and fondle,
and what tears bled you as they pierced your heart?

What frail waxen wings of dreams did you soar upon as you touched the rainbows,
and what despairs melted you as you crashed into the waves of reality?

Use it for Your glory...
And I'm reminded that everything, even the most painful and despicable moments of our lives, can be redeemed by Him on the cross. Everything for His glory... as long as we surrender them to Him.

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Lord I offer you my life
