WE BRING THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE
by Kirk Dearman

Lord we’ve come into your house and we’ve gathered in your name
It’s a privilege to be here we’re so very glad we came
We can sense your holy presence and the warmth of your embrace
As we lift our hearts in worship we bring the sacrifice of praise

We bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord
And we offer up to you the sacrifices of thanksgiving 
And we offer up to you the sacrifices of joy

Lord, you’ve taught us in your word to give thanks in everything
You’ll provide a place of refuge beneath the shadow of your wing
So we purpose to obey you and to walk in all your ways
Lord, in every situation we’ll bring the sacrifice of praise
