I Will Not Offer Anything That Costs Me Nothing

I cannot come before
A righteous Holy Lord
And offer to Him worldly things
I do not need, and hope He’s pleased
For He wants me to give
A heart that’s truly His.
An offering of highest price,
A servant whom the Lord can use

And I will not offer anything
That costs me nothing
I’ll place before Him nothing less
Than my very best
And if I’m called to sacrifice
It will be worthy of my Christ
I will not offer anything
That costs me nothing

To serve Him is my goal
How could I withhold
Whatever’s mine, He’s given me
It’s not my own, it’s His alone
Whatever He’ll require,
That is my desire
Whatever He may need from me
I’ll pay the cost, gain or loss

(Cannot find a good version of this song on you-tube.. but i pray that as we know God more, the lesson of Abel will mean more to us)
