Lord I'm in the dark

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;

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

There defeated my sin

Opened up the gates of heaven

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God... (Ephesians 5:1-2)


"I will offer up my life" is a song by Matt Redman

Lyrics

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


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
