I Will Offer up My Life
Surrendered Worship: A Heart's Offering to a Faithful Friend
Lyrics
Offing up my life
Expressing a commitment to sacrifice and dedicate one's life.
I will offer up my life in spirit and truth
Pledging to offer life with sincerity and authenticity.
Pouring out the oil of love as my worship to you

In surrender I must give my every part
Acknowledging the need for complete surrender of every aspect of oneself.

To so faithful a Friend to so loving a King

Saviour what can be said what can be sung
Questioning what can be spoken or sung to praise the Savior.
As a praise of Your name for the things You have done
Expressing gratitude through praise for the deeds done by Jesus.
Oh my words could not tell not even in part
Acknowledging the limitation of words to fully describe the gratitude.
Of the debt of love that is owed by this thankful heart
Highlighting the immense debt of love owed by a thankful heart.
You deserve my every breath for You've paid the great cost
Acknowledging that every breath is owed to Jesus who paid a great cost.
Giving up your life to death even death on the cross
Remembering the sacrifice of Jesus, giving up life, even on the cross.
You took all my shame away there defeated my sin
Reflecting on the liberation from shame and sin through Jesus' sacrifice.
Open up the gates of heaven and have beckoned me in
Describing the opening of heavenly gates as a result of Jesus' sacrifice.

Saviour 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
Reiterating the inadequacy of words to fully express gratitude.
Of the debt of love that is owed by this thankful heart
Emphasizing the substantial debt of love owed by a thankful heart.
By this thankful heart
Stating gratitude explicitly with the phrase "This thankful heart."
This thankful heart
Reaffirming gratitude with the repetition of "This thankful heart."
