Derek Thomas Nelson - Offering of the Will Lyrics

I am with you; I already know what you can do
Let nothing terrify you
I will give you orders, but delay the possibility
Of their being carried out and make it depend on others

An offering of the will is what I demand of you
A perfect and whole burnt offering
No other sacrifice can compare...
To the offering of the will
For me, a continual sacrifice
I, Myself, am directing your life
Arranging things in such a way that you will always do My Will

And for the accomplishment of this offering
You will unite yourself to Me on the Cross
What the superiors have not managed to do
I myself will accomplish directly in your soul

An offering of the will is what I demand of you
A perfect and whole burnt offering
No other sacrifice can compare...
To the offering of the will
For me, a continual sacrifice
I, Myself, am directing your life
Arranging things in such a way that you will always do My Will

And in the most hidden depths of your soul
A perfect holocaust will be carried out
Not just for awhile, but know my child
This suffering will last until your death
But there is time, so that I the Lord will fulfill
All your wishes
I delight in you as in a living host

An offering of the will is what I demand of you
A perfect and whole burnt offering
No other sacrifice can compare to the offering of the will
For me, a continual sacrifice
I, Myself, am directing your life
Arranging things in such a way that you will always do My Will
