Christian Dedication
1. Because Jehovah created
The universe so grand
To him belong the earth and sky
The works of his own hand
The breath of life he has given
And to his creatures shown
That worthy is he to have the praise
The worship of all his own
2. In water Jesus was baptized
To righteousness fulfill
In solemn prayer he said to God:
'I've come to do your will.'
When he came up from the Jordan
As God's anointed Son
Obedient and loyal he would serve
As God's dedicated One
3. We come before you, Jehovah
To praise your name so great
Disowning self, with humble hearts
Our lives we dedicate
You gave your only begotten
Who paid the price so high
No longer as living for ourselves
For you we shall live or die
The universe so grand
To him belong the earth and sky
The works of his own hand
The breath of life he has given
And to his creatures shown
That worthy is he to have the praise
The worship of all his own
