A Living Sacrifice

Romans · Concerto Grosso

[Intro] Mercy has carried us into this room; we bring no ashes, we bring what still breathes. [Verse 1] Take these hands and the work they can do, take these feet and the roads they pursue, take this mind from the shape of the age, write Your good will on a newly turned page. [Pre-Chorus] Not higher than we ought to stand, not measuring grace by another's hand; faith gives each heart a sober place. [Chorus] Here is a living sacrifice, holy because it is given to You. Many the members, one life in Christ; make every differing gift ring true. [Verse 2] Let prophecy answer the measure of faith, let service be faithful when no one gives praise, let teachers be patient, encouragers clear, let mercy come smiling and leadership steer. [Bridge] We do not belong to ourselves alone; one body is built from flesh and bone. Renew what the world would press into form; prove what is perfect, transform, transform. [Refrain - final] Here is a living sacrifice, not on a fire, but awake in Your sight. Many the members, one life in Christ; receive all our days as worship tonight.
