Lyrics
Verse 1
You are the one that I need
If you want surrender
Lord I’m down on my knees
Right at your feet , there I’ll be
For you are the one that I run to!
Teach me how do I know you more
Chorus:
Lord, I give you my life , take it all as a living sacrifice!
If you wanted my heart , you can have it all as a living sacrifice

You are the treasure I seek
I lay my life down
As an offering !
Lord do whatever you please
For you are the one that I run to!
Teach me how do I know you more

Meaning & Inspiration
Living Sacrifice presents surrender as a complete response to God. The singer offers life, heart, and every part of the self, then asks to remain near Jesus and learn more of him. Images of kneeling, yielding, and becoming a dwelling place give the song a prayerful focus. The later admission of running and trying other things adds a note of repentance, while the repeated declaration of surrender turns that confession toward trust and worship.
The title and central offering closely echo Romans 12:1, where believers are called to present their bodies as a living sacrifice. The desire to become a home for divine presence may also recall the New Testament description of the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. These biblical connections support the central movement of the lyric: worship extends beyond spoken praise into obedience, availability, and a life placed before God. Repetition reinforces an undivided response in which nothing is deliberately held back.
