[Verse 1]
I will offer up my life
In spirit and in truth
Pouring out the oil of love
As my worship to You
In surrender I must give
My every part
Lord, receive the sacrifice
Of a broken heart
[Chorus]
Jesus, what can I give?
What can I bring
To so faithful a friend
To so loving a King?
Savior, what can be said?
What can be sung
As a praise of Your name
For the things You have done?
Oh, my words could not tell
Not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart
[Verse 2]
You deserve my every breath
For You've paid the great cost
Giving up Your life to death
Even death on a cross
You took all my shame away
There defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of hell
And have beckoned me in
[Chorus]
Jesus, what can I give?
What can I bring
To so faithful a friend
To so loving a King?
Savior, what can be said?
What can be sung
As a praise of Your name
For the things You have done?
Oh, my words could not tell
Not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart
[Bridge]
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart
This thankful heart
This thankful heart
This thankful heart
[Outro]
What can I give?
What can I bring?
What can I sing as an offering, Lord?
What can I give?
What can I give to You?
To You?
Now, what can I give?
What can I bring?
What can I sing as an offering, Lord?
What can I give?
