about

FULL LYRICS BELOW

For parish liturgists and musicians, for religious educators, I hope that 'Offering Song' will be useful. Others might just enjoy listening.

The recording includes a small adult choir and a school choir. The song is suitable, I think, for a wide range of ages.

It comes from my album 'Growing in God' - possibly my most useful collection for liturgies and religious education..

PDF music for this song is available through my Online Store. Also available - the ‘Growing in God’ CD and Music Book. Links to these items will be found further down this page.

lyrics

OFFERING SONG

Praise and thanks.
Praise and thanks to the Father.

CHORUS:
With this bread and wine we offer all we have to give.
We bring our lives before you Lord
To be offered up with you
To be offered up by you.
Praise and thanks.
Praise and thanks to the Father.

1. Here are all the moments that gifted us today.
Here are all the good things we've enjoyed.
All we have discovered, our adventures on the way -
You are our way. CHORUS

2. Here are all the things we've made with our own hands.
Thank you for the talents that you gave.
We offer our good will to make a better world -
Your peace, our world. CHORUS

3. We give to you the fears that haunt us in the night.
We offer you hurt we know you share.
We know that on the Cross, you made our sacrifice.
You gave your life.

FINAL CHORUS:
With this bread and wine we offer all we have to give.
We bring our lives before you Lord
To be offered up with you
To be offered up by you.
Praise and thanks.
Praise and thanks to the Father.
Praise and thanks to the Father.
