Lyrics:
I come with my devotion to love and serve my God
Whose loving cosmos formed me before I ever sought
The glory of the heavens or praise on earth below
So every gift I have now I lay before the throne
I hear my Savior’s calling to serve the lost and least
The hungry and imprisoned, the broken ones like me
For in each act of kindness it’s Christ for whom we care
All worthy of our love since it’s God’s face they bear
God made us in God’s image each person whom we meet
Extravagantly loving all of humanity
So I’ll return the love which has formed me from the start
Loving my creator, myself, and every heart
