to Him who is the giver of all good things

and though I cherish you, I will now offer you

for surely he could raise you up again
[Verse 2]

Here on this altar Father I lay all my dreams

And by His love, He'll make a better way
[Chorus 1]

and though I cherish you, I must now offer you

It must have been the hardest thing He's ever done

your sacrifice is now the king of kings.

Jehovah-Jireh, he has provided

the sacrifice of love no man could ever pay

and what he requires of you and me, even the hardest things

your blood of christ, your sacrifice gives me strength to obey
