Don Moen - I Offer My Life To You Lyrics
Lyrics
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before You, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them Yours
Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You
Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life
What can we give that You have not given?
And what do we have that is not already Yours?
All we possess are these lives we're living
That's what we give to You, Lord
Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life
Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life
Lord I offer You my life

Meaning & Inspiration
Don Moen’s 2018 release, “I Offer My Life To You,” is a profound declaration of surrender and devotion, resonating deeply with the core tenets of Christian faith. This song isn't merely a musical piece; it's a theological statement, a humble acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and a willing yielding of one's entire being to His will. At its heart, the song encapsulates the scriptural call to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is precisely what the Apostle Paul urges in Romans 12:1. The message is one of complete trust, recognizing that true fulfillment and purpose are found not in our own plans, but in aligning ourselves with the divine. This act of offering is not a one-time event but a continuous commitment, mirroring the daily surrender Jesus Himself modeled, as He declared, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work” (John 4:34). The song powerfully articulates the understanding that our lives, our talents, our dreams, and our very breath are gifts from God, and to offer them back is an act of worship and gratitude, reflecting the psalmist's sentiment, "What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?" (Psalm 116:12). It speaks to the transformative power of giving everything to God, understanding that in losing our lives for His sake, we truly find them (Matthew 16:25). The simple yet potent message encourages believers to move beyond superficial devotion, to a radical, all-encompassing commitment that honors God in every aspect of existence, a practice consistently found throughout scripture from Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac to Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross.
