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

 (Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

The fresh morning air

Dances through trees;

I find myself before You,

Here on my knees.

 

The clouds move above me,

The sun warms my skin;

Myself I surrender

As the day does begin.

 

A living sacrifice,

Jesus, I am for You;

When I give my all,

My life You renew.

 

Surrender to You

Is the sweetest sound;

Within sacrifice

Richest graces abound.

 

So here on the altar

I place my everything;

You are my Master,

My Savior, my King.

 

I listen for Your call,

I heed all You say;

Your every word, Lord,

I live to obey.

 

If You lead to mountains,

The heights I will climb;

Should You lead to valleys,

I follow each time.

 

For my spiritual worship,

Holy and acceptable to You,

Is to glorify Your Name

In all I say and do.

 

Sweeter joy I know not

Than to be a sacrifice;

For You purchased me,

Your blood paid the price.

 

Jesus, how can I

Give any less for You?

I offer my life always,

No less can I do.

 

As a new day unfolds,

The sun warms my skin,

I marvel how You died

To cleanse me of sin.

 

And as fresh morning air

Dances through trees,

I sacrifice all to You, Lord,

Here on my knees.
