We offer Christ to you, oh my brother.
We offer Christ to you, oh my sister.
He will give you brand new life,
Through life abundantly;
Oh come, come on to Christ.

Come, ye who are weary and heavy laden;
Oh come, come on.
Vamp
To Christ,
To Christ.

Meaning & Inspiration
"We Offer Christ" issues a direct evangelistic invitation, addressing a brother and sister by turn and offering them Christ as the source of an entirely new life. Its brief verse moves quickly from offer to promise, describing that new life as abundant rather than merely different from what came before.
The bridge quotes a familiar biblical invitation nearly word for word, calling those who are weary and heavy laden to come, tying the song's contemporary appeal directly to Christ's own recorded words. That quotation gives the song's short structure theological weight beyond its brevity, grounding the invitation in Scripture rather than only personal appeal.
Built around a repeated vamp simply naming "Christ" as the destination of the invitation, the song functions as a compact altar call suited to a moment of public response within a worship service. Its structure, offer, invitation, and repeated name, keeps the song's entire focus on directing listeners toward Christ rather than elaborating further on the change he brings.
