Sacrifice Of praise

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
