In view of all that we got,
Of compassion from God we share;
Remember the blood that bought,
Sacrificing to repair.
Repair a relationship,
Between the Father and man;
While we reach out and grip,
For grasping onto His plan.
I urge you for to offer,
Yourself as a sacrifice;
No longer as a scoffer,
Letting not this world entice.
Dedicate unto your God,
All that is pleasing to Him;
And always honor and laud,
Being cheerful and not grim.
Do not become like those here,
Rather change the way you think;
Showing your respect and fear,
For remaining in the pink.
Then determine what God wants,
You will be able to so;
What would be a good response,
For love and blessings that flow.
What is pleasing and perfect,
For the kindness that God shows;
Goodness that you can reflect,
From the compassion that flows.
For I say the grace given,
To everyone of you;
Will give passage to Heaven,
As long as you remain true.
For we are one body in Christ,
Each one of us plays a part;
These are as gifts sacrificed,
That you must hold in your heart.
If your gift is for giving,
Be generous in what you share;
And you will go on living,
Being blest in what you spare.
