A Living Sacrifice

Lord, I give unto you,
this body You've given me
my heart, mind, and soul
so, I can learn to be . . .

A holy, living sacrifice,
to heed to Your will
an open, willing vessel
to offer You my skill.

A light unto the world,
to shine in the darkness
a tiny grain of salt
to blot out the harshness.

A voice in the wilderness,
to those who are lost
a witness to salvation
to bring glory to the cross.

A tiny mustard seed,
to spread the Gospel Word
a branch on the true vine
to feed your hungry herd.

Lord, grant me Your mercies,
I will need each and every one
if I am to be of Your service
and lead others to Your Son.

Romans 12:1
