Here's my life as a sacrifice
I'll be the incense
The sweetest fragrance
Only Yours, consecrated for
Only You, Lord
Just for You, Lord
'Cause I'm Your temple
A dwelling place for You
And Lord, make my heart
A pleasing home for You
And oh-oh-oh, I will live on the altar
Oh-oh-oh, You are worth what You asked for
If You're searching for a heart as Your reward
Then I am Yours
I Your house
And in Your house, I will daily live
Fixed on one thing, to see Your beauty
'Cause You alone are worth more than gold
I'll trade the world for
A day in Your courts
'Cause I'm Your temple
A dwelling place for You
And Lord, make my heart
A pleasing home for You
And oh-oh-oh, I will live on the altar
Oh-oh-oh, You are worth what You asked for
Oh-oh-oh, I will live on the altar
Oh-oh-oh, You are worth what You asked for
If You're searching for a heart as Your reward
If You're searching for a heart as Your reward
Then I am Yours
I wanna be the oil, I wanna be the sacrifice
I wanna be a laid-down lover all my life
Oh, I wanna be the oil, I wanna be the sacrifice
I wanna be a laid-down lover all my life
I wanna be the oil, I wanna be the sacrifice
I wanna be a laid-down lover all my life
Oh, I wanna be the oil, I wanna be the sacrifice
I wanna be a laid down lover all my life
