Story Behind The Song
I was learning about God using my body to do His works, and had found several Scripture passages relating to that topic. I wanted His Holy Spirit to indwell me and use every part of me for good. The words of this song express that desire.

Lyrics
Vs 1: My sacrifice, oh God, is a broken spirit
A broken and contrite heart, oh God, you will not despise
Ch: These are Your hands, these are Your feet
These are Your eyes, let them see what You see
These are Your lips, these are Your ears
These are Your shoulders to soak up their tears
And this is Your heart from within my soul
Fill it, use it, it's in Your control
This motion of surrender is all of me for You
In my brokenness, complete Your will
Lord, let me serve as You do
Vs 2: Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy
To offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God
This is your spiritual act of worship
(chorus)
