Christmas Offering

Song Meaning

The song opens on the night sky above Bethlehem, where a star appears and angels sing to shepherds in the fields, while wise men travel a long road in search of the child from heaven. That search ends in a posture of surrender — they fall to their knees before the "humble Prince of Peace." From there the lyric turns from narrative to first-person devotion, as the singer offers worship rather than gold or incense, insisting that no one on earth deserves the praise being sung. A second verse shifts into awe at God's glory: the sun itself can't compare to His love, there is no shadow in His presence, and no mortal could stand before His throne. The bridge names the only way anyone approaches that throne — through blood and mercy, not personal merit. The final movement widens the offering from an individual gift to a corporate one, repeating that the worshippers themselves have become the offering. The song holds adoration and humility together, treating worship as something given back to the One who is already worthy of it.

Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three Wisemen seeking truth they traveled from afar
Hoping to find the child from heaven
Falling on their knees they bow before the humble Prince of Peace

We bring an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord I bring an offering to You

The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your blood
It's only through Your mercy
Lord, I come

I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may you receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You

I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may you receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You

We bring an offering to You
We are an offering to You
We are an offering to You, Jesus

We are an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, we bring an offering to You

O Lord, we bring and offering
An offering to You

We bring an offering to You
We are an offering to You
