Each cry of praise begins with Thee |
|
You've given the gift of life |
|
And hid in our hearts eternity |
|
Revealed in the mercies of Christ |
|
Tho' darkness surrounds us in shadows of death |
|
We look for Your heavenly rays |
|
The fruit of our lips giving thanks with each breath |
|
We offer to Thee our praise |
|
For Your generous favors O God |
|
For the gift of our freedom in Christ |
|
As an offering of praise unto You |
|
We will give our lives in sacrifice |
|
Our fountain of praise begins with Thee |
|
It flows from Your heart above |
|
Mercy like rain comes cleansing and free |
|
To shower Your children in love |
|
The thirst of our souls left parched by sin |
|
Is quenched by Your river of grace |
|
As rains that ascend to the heavens again |
|
We offer to Thee our praise |
|
The fire of our praise begins with Thee |
|
You bathe us in flames of light |
|
Each fiber within us is yearning to be |
|
Engulfed in the glory of Christ |
|
May all that is empty within be consumed |
|
And fire for Thee set ablaze |
|
With a fragrance of sacrifice sweet as perfume |
|
We offer to Thee our praise |
|
Our praise |
