i offer up my life

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

ade sent me this song today. used to be one of my favorite songs because it just overflows with the goodness of the Lord and reminds me of how unworthy we are to stand before this Throne of Grace. its been a tough week. my prayers have never been more heartfelt, my burdens never so heavy. but every night, as i come before the Lord in prayer i am reminded.

Lord i believe, help my unbelief.

and slowly but surely, i leave them at His feet. and trust that He is faithful. that His love will cover me in my moments of weakness. His mercy will cause Him to withhold rebuke and His grace will draw me closer to Him each day. no matter what.

and im thankful for the gift of friends. friends that remind me of the goodness of the Lord, and carry my burdens to Him in prayer. thanks, friends. (:
