APR. 5 – PRESENT YOUR BODIES

04/05                   Romans 12:1

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”

  1. Holiness is an act of worship – It is how we honor God.
  2. It requires sacrifice – We surrender ourselves fully to Him.
  3. Our bodies matter – Holiness involves physical and spiritual purity.
  4. God defines what is acceptable – We must align with His standards.

NOT OUR WILL

(Verse 1)
Lay down your life, lay down your will,
Not in part, but in full,
A living sacrifice to Him,
Holy, pleasing, set apart.

(Verse 2)
Not just words, not just thoughts,
But all you are, given whole,
A life that moves in worship,
A heart that beats in surrender.

(Verse 3)
What He asks, He first provides,
Grace to stand, strength to yield,
To be a vessel, pure and true,
A light that shines His way.

(Verse 4)
Not conformed, not led astray,
But transformed by His hand,
Renewed each day in His mercy,
Set apart for Him alone.

(Chorus)
Take our lives, take our hearts,
A sacrifice, a holy flame,
Not our will, but Yours be done,
We are Yours, forever Yours.
