I wrote the
following during our Sunday school lesson today on the building of
the tabernacle in Exodus 36-40:
From guilt
to grace the people turned
To worship God, the One they’d spurned.
They gave their treasure to provide a place,
A reminder of God’s saving grace.
Will we likewise give our best
Or will we put Him to the test?
Our lives are His, and all we own
Belongs to God and God alone.
Forgive us when we hold too tight
To things we own and think we’re right.
Lord, open our hearts and hands to You
To give the worship You are due.
Use our lives to give You glory.
Use our mouths to tell Your story.
May we always worship You
With all we have and all we do.
To worship God, the One they’d spurned.
They gave their treasure to provide a place,
A reminder of God’s saving grace.
Will we likewise give our best
Or will we put Him to the test?
Our lives are His, and all we own
Belongs to God and God alone.
Forgive us when we hold too tight
To things we own and think we’re right.
Lord, open our hearts and hands to You
To give the worship You are due.
Use our lives to give You glory.
Use our mouths to tell Your story.
May we always worship You
With all we have and all we do.
“Or do
you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within
you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were
bought with a price. So glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians
6:19-20 ESV).
