Do you know, Lord?
How much I love you?
Is it in my voice when I sing to you in adoration?
Do you see me, Lord?
I long to serve you.
Does it show you when I turn the other cheek?
For blessed are the meek…
who inherit the earth, and
Blessed are they that seek an unearthly peace
And blessed are the merciful, the pure in heart
For they are the children of God
Do you know, Lord
How grateful I am?
Does it show you when I help a stranger in a strange land?
Do you see me, Lord?
I long to share your love so
I plant seeds each time I love my enemy…
For blessed are the meek…
who inherit the earth, and
Blessed are they that seek an unearthly peace
And blessed are the merciful, the pure in heart
For they are the children of God
Bridge
Let my life be a burnt offering
Your Holy will be done
Let my desires go up in flames
As burnt offerings to the One I praise
For blessed are the meek…
who inherit the earth, and
Blessed are they that seek an unearthly peace
And blessed are the merciful, the pure in heart
For they are the children of God….
Thank you to Jim Dearing for naming this song “Burnt Offerings.” I told Jim I had burned potatoes (literally to a char after all the water boiled off) while working on a new song earlier that morning. I only had a few chords, but they were so pretty I kept playing around with them until I smelled smoke! Jim joked I should call the song “Burnt Offerings.”
