Living Sacrifice

By grace we have been saved through faith
And this not from ourselves
It is the gift of God
Not by our works so that no one can boast (Eph. 2: 8-9)
We are called to be free
But we do not use our freedom
To live for sin (Gal. 5: 13)

And so we serve and love each-other
Created in Christ Jesus to do good works
Which God prepared for us to do (Eph. 2: 10)
That we might bear Him fruit (Rom. 7: 4)
'Cause He took our hurt

We worship the Father in Spirit and truth (John 4: 24)
Our spiritual worship is bearing good fruit
We once were in darkness, but now we are children of light (Eph. 5: 8)
Our lives are a living sacrifice (Rom. 12: 1)

Not everyone who says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord"
Will enter in to the kingdom of Heaven
But the one who does the Father's will (Matt. 7: 21)
By believing in Jesus will enter His rest (John 6: 40; Heb. 4: 3)

We are saved by grace alone (Eph. 2: 8)
And full of love we show our faith by what we do (James 2: 18)
For faith without works is dead (James 2: 26)
'Cause a heart of love bears the sweetest fruit (John 15: 8-9)

For when we remain in Christ
We live by His word (John 15: 10)

We worship the Father in Spirit and truth (John 4: 24)
Our spiritual worship is bearing good fruit
We once were in darkness, but now we are children of light (Eph. 5: 8)
Our lives are a living sacrifice (Rom. 12: 1)

Jesus saw the rich giving gifts for the temple
But that poor humble widow gave more than them all
She put in all that she had (Luke 21: 1-4)
Like her, we will stand
And give ourselves fully to God (1 Cor. 15: 58)

For those who love their life will lose it (John 12: 25)
And those who lose their life for Christ will find it (Matt. 10: 39)

We worship the Father in Spirit and truth (John 4: 24)
Our spiritual worship is bearing good fruit
We once were in darkness, but now we are children of light (Eph. 5: 8)
Our lives are a living sacrifice (Rom. 12: 1)

The work that God requires is that we believe in His Son (John 6: 29)
