Lyrics
Verse 1
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
Chorus
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus
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
Bridge
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
I Offer My Life To You is a prayer of full surrender. The first verse lays down all that the singer is and has, regrets and acclaims, joy and pain, making them God's. The chorus offers life and days, asking Him to use everything that has been gone through for His glory, and lifting praise as a pleasing sacrifice.
The second verse offers past and future, hopes, plans and dreams, with heart and hands lifted, and the bridge asks what can be given that He has not already given, since all possessed is the life being lived. The themes follow Romans 12:1 on presenting bodies as living sacrifices, 1 Chronicles 29:14 on giving only what comes from God, Hebrews 13:15 on the sacrifice of praise, and Romans 8:28. The steady repeated chorus makes it a simple, reverent offering for a congregation.
