Story Behind The Song
A bit of disgruntlement with "worship" music that has ego, pride, or showmanship in it, instead of worship "in spirit and in truth". Song is born out of a hunger for worship that's for Jesus, not for or about us.
Song Description
A praise song to Jesus, emphasizing simplicity, honesty, and truthfulness in true worship.

Lyrics
DEDICATE 2005 by David H. McIntosh
Cho.
We dedicate this time to You, and all we want to do
Is give you a pleasing offering this day
We want to worship only You, in Spirit and in truth
Our sacrifice of praise, our love to You we raise
The fruit of our lips we bless Your Holy Name
V1 We are weary of the struggle in this world of heaviness
And we yearn to find Your place of rest in holiness
You invite us to come boldly to Your throne of graciousness
Where those who labor will find favor
Our souls will be refreshed
Br: Jesus, be blessed
We hunger and we thirst for Your righteousness
We love You, oh make us to
Continually give praise and seek Your holy face
V2 We renounce any pretense, we are here for only You
O Lord be pleased with what You see and all we do
Let us love You with our whole heart, with our soul and strength and mind
We want You, Jesus, take this time
In Your presence we will shine!
Cho.
We dedicate our lives to You, and all we want to do
Is give You a pleasing offering each day
We want to worship only You, by walking in the truth
To leave behind our shame, obedience our aim
The fruit of works that glorify Your Name
