WHAT SHALL I BRING BEFORE THE LORD
And bow my knee before my God?
Extravagant sacrifice.
Can I give You a thousand words,
Or please You with ten thousand songs?
Extravagant sacrifice.
You have shown us what is good
Through the message of Your Son.
Show justice, love mercy,
Walk humbly with your God.
(Repeat)
My life I bring before the Lord,
And bow my knee before my God;
Extravagant sacrifice.
My love, more than a thousand words,
My praise, more than ten thousand songs:
Extravagant sacrifice.
You have shown us what is good,
Through the message of Your Son.
His life, His death
Poured out for us:
His words, His ways
Our life blood
