Lyrics
In this time of worship, I'm surrendering my all
In obedience and reverence, I answer your call
My heart is saying "Let your will be manifest.
In a world that's filled with mess, help me pass this test."
Shine your glory on my face,
only let me speak what you want me say.
My body is a temple.
Come Holy Spirit take your place.
Your presence I embrace,
when I enter your secret place.
Excuse me father.
Please don't hesitate, hey, hey!
I offer up myself as a living sacrifice.
Holy and acceptable, acceptable in your sight.
It's no longer I, but the Christ that lives in me.
Please Jesus, stay in me, stay in me.
It's easy to lose focus, in a world that's filled with sin.
A lot of things have changed, the world is not the same.
Though the road of sin is rough, I will never lose the cross.
Because you paid the cost, my soul is not lost.
Now I'm getting wiser, the battle is getting harder.
My flesh is getting weaker, my spirit is saying Saviour"
I need more of you, Lord I don't know what to do.
Spirit, I'm desperate for you, hey hey hey.
I offer up myself as a living sacrifice.
Holy and acceptable, acceptable in your sight.
It's no longer I, but the Christ that lives in me.
Please Jesus, stay in me, stay in me.
Oh Lord, my soul says "Yes",
my soul says "Yes",
Jesus Yes
Oh Yes
Jesus Yes
Oh Yes
Oh Lord
Yes to your will and your ways
My soul says "Yes"
Lord I love you, I appreciate you.
My soul says "Yes"
Yes
Jesus I love you
Oh Yes, Yes
Jesus I love you

Meaning & Inspiration
Offer Myself is a prayer of surrender shaped by the language of sacrifice, obedience, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. The opening lines place worship alongside a willingness to answer God and submit to His will. Requests for purified speech, divine presence, and help amid temptation show that the offering is not merely emotional; it concerns conduct, endurance, and a life made available to God.\n\nThe chorus closely echoes the appeal to present the body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. It also draws on the confession that Christ lives in the believer, making surrender a response to grace rather than an attempt at self-salvation. Later verses acknowledge distraction, weakness, and spiritual conflict before returning to a repeated yes to the will and ways of God. The song therefore works as both confession and prayer, expressing a desire for Christlike life, help from the Spirit, and steadfast devotion when faith is tested.
