This is a liturgical offertory song.
The text, based on the end of Psalm 116, is a bold commitment to honor
and praise the name of the Lord who has blessed us so richly. In
the context of Psalm 116, the Lord has blessed the psalm writer by
delivering from the grave itself. The response is a commitment to
worship the Lord, to fulfill vows, and to make an offering to the praise
of His name. This is obviously an appropriate liturgical offertory,
but it has uses in other contexts as well. A more traditional
version is available with organ accompaniment.
What shall I offer You, O Lord
For all Your blessings unto me?
I will offer my heart in thanksgiving
I will lift my voice to praise Your name.
I
will raise the cup of salvation
And will call on Your name, O Lord, Most High
I will keep Your word and fulfill my vows
In the presence of all Your people
In the courts of Your house, O Lord
I will offer myself unto You.
