Sacrifice Of Praise - Steve Green

Each cry of praise begins with Thee

You’ve given the gift of life

And hid in our hearts eternity

Revealed in the mercies of Christ

Tho' darkness surrounds us in shadows of death

We look for Your heavenly rays

The fruit of our lips giving thanks with each breath

We offer to Thee our praise

For Your generous favors O God

For the gift of our freedom in Christ

As an offering of praise unto You

We will give our lives in sacrifice

Our fountain of praise begins with Thee

It flows from Your heart above

Mercy like rain comes cleansing and free

To shower Your children in love

The thirst of our souls left parched by sin

Is quenched by Your river of grace

As rains that ascend to the heavens again

We offer to Thee our praise

The fire of our praise begins with Thee

You bathe us in flames of light

Each fiber within us is yearning to be

Engulfed in the glory of Christ

May all that is empty within be consumed

And fire for Thee set ablaze

With a fragrance of sacrifice sweet as perfume

We offer to Thee our praise

Our praise
