Lyrics
I'm the instrument of worship
My life is the sacrifice
I'll be spent till I am done till I am empty.
Verse
For your glory
I give my will
For your glory Lord
For your beauty
I die daily
For your beauty Lord.

Meaning & Inspiration
“I’m the Sacrifice” presents worship as the offering of an entire life. The opening lines identify the singer as both an instrument of worship and the sacrifice itself, shifting attention from a single song or ceremony to sustained surrender. Being “spent” until empty conveys costly service, while the repeated dedication “for your glory” places personal will beneath God’s purposes.
The verse adds the language of dying daily, a phrase that echoes Paul’s description of continual self-denial and devotion. Its meaning also aligns with the appeal in Romans to present the body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Those connections suit the lyric’s focus without requiring the sacrifice to be understood literally. The song is brief, but its images form a clear progression: life becomes worship, the will is yielded, and daily choices are offered for divine glory and beauty. The result is a concise prayer of consecration centered on obedience rather than performance.
