Offering

I dedicate myself, to you, O Lord
The only thing I know to give you in return
For you have bestowed me the new life I yearn

I dedicate myself to you, O Lord
A vagabond I was, roaming, like a Wandering Jew
Yet, you included me, into thy chosen few
Spare me from your angel’s sword
And I’ll abide in you, with full accord

I dedicate myself, to you, O Lord
As I offer my soul unto you
I promise to be true
In giving my praise
And I'll worship you, always!
