Lord, I take You as my sin offering for what I am,
But Lord, I take You as my burnt offering for what I’m not.
I’m not loving, submissive, patient, kind, or meek,
I’m not single in view, Lord, nor is it God I seek.
But dearest Lord, You’re all these things, all virtue’s in You,
So Lord I lay my hands on You in all I do.
CLord,
I take You as my sin
for what I
F-C-G7
am,
But
C
Lord,
I
C-G
take
You as
Am
my

for

what
I'm
G7-C
not.

Lord, in me is all self-love, envy, anxiety
Lord, in me is only pride and no humility.
I’m not pure, Lord, or trusting, neither absolute
For Your purpose, I waver — I’m not resolute!

Such a laying on of hands is not for substitution;
When we lay our hands on Christ, it brings in a union.
By our laying our hands on Christ, we are joined to Him.
We become one — no longer two — we become Him!
In such a union all our weaknesses, wounds, and scars
Are taken on by Him and His virtues become ours.

Such a union requires exercise through proper prayer
We open our failures, defects for our Lord to bear.
As we pray in this way, Christ — the One with no such sin
As the life-giving Spirit moves and works within
To live in us a life, a repetition of Christ our King,
The One who lived on earth the life of the burnt offering.

Lord, You’re balanced, fine and pure and loving through and through
You welcome the leprous ones, blind, lame all come to You.

Your humility’s unsurpassed — obedient e’en unto death.
Trusting in the Father’s will, living by Him breath by breath!
