A Living Sacrifice
O Lord, my God, teach me to be
A living sacrifice for Thee.
Give me the strength from day to day
To walk Thy holy, righteous way.
As I go thru those times of trial,
Lord, help me to learn self denial,
And may my motives always be
To please and to glorify Thee.
When You entrust a special task,
Help me to do all that You ask;
Increase my faith and help me see
Thy grace is sufficient for me.
Lord Jesus, You sacrificed all
To redeem my soul from the fall,
O how could I do any less
Than give to You my very best?
Lord, grant me peace, help me to know
It’s in the hard times that I grow;
O God, I give myself to Thee,
Take all I am, help me to be…
A Living Sacrifice for Thee.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
(Rom 12:1)
