This song explores what a 'living sacrifice' can look like in our lives. Inspired by the ‘Straight to the Heart’ Bible Study book on Paul’s Letter to the Romans where Chapter 12 breaks down what it means to be a ‘living sacrifice’ into three areas: living towards God, towards the Church, and towards others. The items it highlights are each relatively small – faithful prayer, offering our gifts which may include hospitality, looking out for and humbly serving others in difficulty, both in and outside the church – but with our hearts and outlook focussed on God rather than ourselves.

Starting from John 1, this song explores how the Word of God was present at creation and through Jesus, is available through his Spirit to help us live for him, and will be there in judgment at the end of time. A simple song for the Whole of Life, or for Advent (verses 1,2 and 4).

Written to reflect the start of a teaching series in 2018, where from Genesis 1:26-28 & 12:1-3 we saw how God wants to bless us and how we can locate ourselves in a place to receive or hinder these blessings so they overflow to bless those around us.

From our recent teaching series on Hebrews, this song highlights four passages which affirm we can draw near to Jesus, our great High Priest, for help in our time of need. In response, as a royal priesthood, we are called to bless others in his name. Written for the Resound 12 Song Challenge 2024.
