My Life Is An Offering
Words and Music by Joel and Pat Sczebel
This life is an altar Where I want to offer My soul, and my mind, and strength Cleansed by your mercy to live a life worthy Of the One Who called my name
How could I not love you? You authored my rescue Raised me up from death to life Your Spirit is in me, revealing your glory Oh what joy as I give my life
(Chorus) Jesus, be glorified Jesus, be magnified Let me be a pleasing sacrifice Jesus, be glorified Jesus, be magnified Here on the altar My life is an offering
(Chorus) I choose to lose my life, Lord And find it in you (Chorus)
Psalm 139:7-8 My Faith Has Found a Resting Place On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand
