Lyrics
[Intro]
(CHOIR) Lift your voices high, let the praises ring,
Today we gather, let our hearts take wing!
[Verse 1]
I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God,
Reach deep within, let go of the facade.
Present yourself, a living sacrifice,
In His grace, we seek to pay the price.
Every step we take is a step of trust,
In His love, we rise from the dust.
Eager to follow, ready to respond,
In His arms of mercy, our hearts are fond.
[Chorus]
(CHOIR) I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God,
That you present your body a living sacrifice, a living sacrifice.
(Lead) Be not conformed to this old world,
Let God renew your mind,
(CHOIR) Do what is good and perfect will of God.
(Lead) Be Holy, live Holy, all day long! (Repeat)
[Verse 2]
In a world that’s fleeting, choose to stand tall,
Let His light shine; illuminate all.
When shadows gather, we'll rise above,
In unity we find strength, in faith and love.
In every trial, we won’t stand alone,
Together we’re stronger, like a heart of stone.
With every heartbeat, let’s echo his name,
In the dance of His spirit, we'll never be the same.
[Chorus]
(CHOIR) I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God,
That you present your body a living sacrifice, a living sacrifice.
(Lead) You've got to be Holy.
(CHOIR) Be Holy!
(Lead) You've got to live Holy.
(CHOIR) Live Holy!
[Bridge]
(CHOIR) Be Holy, Live Holy; we declare this now,
In every word and deed, we'll humbly bow.
(CHOIR) Be Holy, Live Holy; it's our sacred vow,
In joy and in peace, we’ll walk this pathway somehow.
[Chorus]
(CHOIR) I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God,
That you present your body a living sacrifice, a living sacrifice.
(Lead) You've got to be Holy.
(CHOIR) Be Holy!
(Lead) You've got to live Holy.
(CHOIR) Live Holy!
(CHOIR) Be Holy; Live Holy. (Repeat three times)
[Outro]
(CHOIR) A Living Sacrifice! (Repeat three times)
In the power of our faith, we rise up and sing,
As living sacrifices, to the praise we bring!
Our lives reflect His mercy, sharing love that’s so divine,
A living sacrifice, forever we will shine!
(CHOIR) A Living Sacrifice!
