excerpts from my journal – #5 consecrate our gifts

August 21, 2008 | 12:00 pm

The Methodist Hymnal p. 518 “Offertory Sentences”

I.
All things come of Tee, O Lord.
An of Thine own have we given Thee.
Amen.

II.
We give Thee but Thine own,
Whate’er the gift may be;
All that we have is Thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from Thee.
Amen.

III. (Call and Response)
To the preaching of the good tidings of salvation…
We consecrate our gifts.

To the teaching of Jesus’ way of life…
We consecrate our gifts.

To the healing of broken bodies and the soothing of fevered brows…
We consecrate our gifts.

To the leading of every little child to the knowledge and love of Jesus…
We consecrate our gifts.

To caring for helpless age and the relief of all who look to us for help…
We consecrate our gifts.

To the evangelization of the world and the building of the kingdom of God…
We consecrate our wealth, our efforts and our lives.
