Small Sacrifice
Twila Paris's 'Small Sacrifice' is a reflective worship song about responding to Christ's ultimate sacrifice with a humble offering of one's life. The lyrics acknowledge that nothing we give can match the honor Jesus deserved, yet we present our love and lives as a token. The song emphasizes gratitude for freedom and redemption, and it closes with a hopeful thought that God can use even our insignificant gifts to change the world. It's a gentle call to surrender and trust, rooted in the gospel message of salvation.
He worked His magic on me
My sisters and brothers
I was unable to see like so many others
You came and told me the truth
I owe my freedom to You
What can I give in return
That is not destined to burn
It's one small sacrifice
I give You all my love
I give You all my life
A token for a prize
It never could be worth
The honor You deserved
It's one small sacrifice
You came here ready to die
With kindest intention
History's great sacrifice
The price of redemption
Innocence covered in sin
I am created again
What can I give in return
When there is nothing to learn
It's one small sacrifice
I give You all my love
I give You all my life
A token for a prize
It never could be worth
The honor You deserved
It's one small sacrifice
What can You do with this gift of mine
So insignificant, so unrefined
What can You do with a simple girl
You can change the world
You can change the world
With one small sacrifice
I give You all my love
I give You all my life
A token for a prize
That never could be worth
The honor You deserved
It's one small sacrifice
I give You all my love
I give You all my life
A token for a prize
It never could be worth
The honor You deserved
It's one small sacrifice
