Pastor Todd has asked me if we could sing this song together this coming weekend, as we think about Thanksgiving.
It's called "Offering" and it's by Paul Baloche.
First, check out this video of Paul explaining the process he undertook in writing it, and the motivation for the song. Then watch the second video which has the full song (it also includes an optional "Christmas verse" which I'm not planning on doing just yet).
Lyrics:
Verse 1: (Christmas verse)
Over the skies of Bethlehem
Appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wise men seeking truth
Travelled from afar
Hoping to find the Child from heaven
Falling on their knees they bowed
Before the humble Prince of Peace
Chorus:
I bring an offering
Of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves
The praises that I sing
Jesus may You receive
The honor that You're due
O Lord I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You
Verse 2:
The sun cannot compare
To the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare
To stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your blood
And it's only through Your mercy
Lord I come
