David MacGregor says this is “a reflective song, based on theme for UCA: Qld Synod 25th anniversary,” which was twenty something years ago. I wish them a happy fiftieth.
It is a commissioning and commitment hymn.
The sheet music is available to download at his site.
Usually I do backings not long before I post about a hymn, but I did all these some time ago, so they are a surprise to me now. This is meant to be “at first reflective… then building.” It does kick in after the key change so it does that.
- Lord, I offer my heart
All the passion in me
Lord I offer my soul
All I’m longing to be
Take my heart and my soul
Take my joy and my pain
Take me wholly,
I’m yours in surrender
Jesus, again.- Lord, you’ve offered your heart
Paying passion’s great price
Lord, you’ve offered your soul
so in you we’d know life.
Lord, your heart and your soul
take on Calv’ry our stains
You redeem and
restore us completely
to life, in your name.- Lord, we offer our hearts
As a people of grace
By your Spirit, inspire us
to love in each place.
Lord, we offer our hearts
To your mission, your call
Heart and soul:
each one serving you wholly,
Offering all.© David MacGregor 2002
