When Christ came into the world, he said to God, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer” (Hebrews 10:5; NLT).
You give me a body
To offer,
A mind, and a heart,
And a soul.
You give me a lifetime
To seek and to serve you
In all, Lord:
My Maker, and Goal.
My goal is to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death (Philippians 3:10; CSB).
