SACRIFICE OF PRAISE
lyrics and music by Dennis Nelson
copyright 2004

VERSE 1: FATHER INTO YOUR PRESENCE
HUMBLY BEFORE YOU I COME
WITH THANKS AND GRATITUDE
FOR ALL THAT YOU?VE DONE FOR ME
YOU GAVE ME A HEART TO LOVE YOU
FILLED ME WITH MERCY AND GRACE TO DO YOUR WILL
TO MAKE ME MORE THAN I COULD BE
AND WHATEVER THE SITUATION
YOU?VE BEEN THERE TO SEE ME THROUGH

CHORUS: I?VE LEARNED TO TRUST YOU THROUGH PAIN, THROUGH TRIALS
I FEEL THE POWER OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME I WAS UNWORTHY
[BUT] YOU GAVE YOUR ALL SELFLESSLY FOR ME
SO WITH JOY
I OFFER TO YOU
THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

VERSE 2: THIS IS MY ACT OF WORSHIP
GIVING MYSELF AS A LIVING SACRIFICE TO YOU
LORD, THAT?S WHAT YOU ASK OF ME
JUST TO LIVE A LIFE OF SERVICE
TO LIFT AND EXALT YOUR NAME

SING CHORUS 2 TIMES

VAMP THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE ---------
