Lyrics
What gift of love could I offer to a King
What weight or worth could be held within my offering
When He alone is worthy
A glory song is inscribed upon my heart
This treasure held in an alabaster jar I break
To bring Him all the glory
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
What sacrifice could be equal to His own
The cross of Christ has declared that there is nought I owe
Yet I know I owe Him all
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Our Father God the infinite
The matchless King magnificent
The living Christ the servant Son
The prophesied the saving One
The Holy Ghost gift from above
The faithful Friend the seal of love
This life this heart this song to Him
My all in all my everything
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

Meaning & Inspiration
From Who All Blessings Flow centers praise on the worthiness of God rather than the value of any human offering. The opening questions place love, worship, and sacrifice beside the greatness of the King, concluding that no gift can equal Christ. The image of an alabaster jar conveys costly devotion, while the cross settles the singers debt and inspires a willing response of total praise. The familiar doxology then gathers every creature into worship of the One from whom every good gift comes.
The later lines unfold a distinctly Trinitarian confession. The Father is praised as infinite and matchless, Christ as the servant Son and saving One, and the Holy Spirit as the gift from above and seal of love. This progression gives the song both intimacy and breadth: an individual heart offers its song, yet heaven and earth join the praise. Its final repetition of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost leaves worship focused on Gods character, saving work, and generous provision.
