I based the text off of Romans 11 and 12, making 12:1 the centerpiece for a song that explores the notion of being a 'living sacrifice' primarily from the standpoint of WHY we do so. CCLI #4877530

Contemporary hymns and new worship music
CONTEMPORARY HYMNS AND NEW WORSHIP MUSIC These are acoustic worship songwriting demos with chords sheets. IF YOU'RE A SINGER, BAND, OR WORSHIP LEADER/PASTOR, FEEL FREE TO USE these modern hymns and worship songs in live settings, and to reproduce lyric sheets for Power Point, overhead transparency, or whatever you use. THE MODERN HYMN MOVEMENT: The recent explosion of contemporary hymns and inroads made into churches by Indelible Grace, Stuart Townend, Keith and Kristyn Getty and other modern hymn writers has done wonders for reminding us of the relevance of old hymns and turning again to new hymns crafted in old literary patterns that expressed theological truths in ways that many modern song-constructs cannot follow. I work in this tradition, writing deeply theological worship songs that can be adapted for various musical genres, while presenting the gospel in the depth that hymns are famous for. Click the "Lyrics/story tab next to each song on my MP3 music page for chords, as well as a list of themes/liturgical settings for each song and CCLI #s. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD OVERHEAD TRANSFER SHEETS, chord sheets, and lyrics to some of these songs by looking up my name in the Artist List of these two sites: Just send me a note letting me know who/where you are -- I'd like to know! .

Lyrics
D A D The mercy You have granted me Bm Em Bm A Is greater than could be repaid D A D You're bigger than all space and time Bm Em Bm A So who am I that You should save? Bm A D In thanks, a living sacrifice Bm Em D A My heart could burst with gratitude D A D I pledge my body, all my life G A D It is the most that I could do D A D It is the most that I could do Bm Em Bm A No longer is my body mine D A D Give me the strength to stray from sin Bm Em Bm A And stay close to Your bleeding side Bm A D Conformed no more to this dark world Bm Em D A To things that fade and pass away D A D Transformed, renewed in my own mind G A D Alive to serve You day by day D A D Alive to serve You day by day Bm Em Bm A A life of worship for my Lord D A D Though Satan tempts me even now Bm Em Bm A To feel I'm earning my reward Bm A D God grant that I should never boast Bm Em D A That I have given You my life D A D I live by mercy, breathe in grace G A D It is a humble sacrifice D A D It is a humble sacrifice Bm Em Bm A If only I could offer more D A D But I'm a creature, You are God Bm Em Bm A You don't need what I can't afford Bm A D In truth, You don't need anything Bm Em D A There's fellowship in You complete D A D But You accept my sacrifice G A D Through Your own mercy, rich and sweet.
