My Contribution

Oh, what shall be my contribution
To the Temple of my King?
When I ascend His holy mountain
What right tribute could I bring?

What present would my Lord desire?
What might serve His kingdom plan?
See, He is a consuming fire
Can we meet? By grace we can!

What goodness could I ever give Him?
How shall I approach my Lord?
I never could deserve to see Him
Ne’er could I His grace afford

Is Yahweh pleased with streams of oil?
With ten thousand fatted rams?
How shall I prove that I am loyal?
Humbly guarding His commands

Yes, He has shown what He deems proper
Blood-cleansed hands; a firm, pure heart
A life of trust in my good Father
Was His purpose from the start

I climb His mount with joy and singing
With a heart to volunteer
Surrender is what I am bringing
As He calls me to come near
