There are lots of great opening songs that focus on attributes of God (his greatness, his faithfulness, his holiness, etc.) but not so many that focus explicitly on Christ. I wanted to write something in an up-tempo, contemporary style that carries the Christ-exalting richness of passages like Colossians 1 and Philippians 2. The three verses intertwine the story of our salvation with the story of Christ’s eternal glory, while the chorus lifts for a big, worshipping response.

This song explores what a 'living sacrifice' can look like in our lives. Inspired by the ‘Straight to the Heart’ Bible Study book on Paul’s Letter to the Romans where Chapter 12 breaks down what it means to be a ‘living sacrifice’ into three areas: living towards God, towards the Church, and towards others. The items it highlights are each relatively small – faithful prayer, offering our gifts which may include hospitality, looking out for and humbly serving others in difficulty, both in and outside the church – but with our hearts and outlook focussed on God rather than ourselves.
