"Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom.... Thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offering.... The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise" (Psalm 51:6-17).
The sacrifices God desires
Are deep within our hidden part;
This is what the Lord requires:
A broken and a contrite heart.
Since our Lord and Savior died
To save each hell bound soul,
Let us see Him satisfied,
And satisfied in full!
Let us bring what He has sought;
Let nothing therein lack!
Everything we are He bought;
Let nothing be held back!
Lord, it seems a poor exchange:
You paid so high a price!
To give you less now seems so strange:
A living sacrifice!
