laying our gifts upon your altar

each day, far more than Sunday alone
laying our gifts upon your altar
tangible gifts of money, of treasure
of time; of fidelity too,
our lives given over
all of our steps
all of our days
our gifts,
lives you have given
given back to you Lord
Use us we pray
for your mercy,
for your glory

Prayer of Dedication of offering
“Provider God, we thank you for the way that you love us and care for us each day. We come with humble hearts and lay our gifts upon your altar. We pray that you would guide us in the way that you would have us use them so that we may be a blessing to others as you have blessed us. It is in Jesus’ strong name we pray. Amen.”
