Make Me An Offering Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Lord, cleanse this vessel in and out
This heart of sin make whole
My mind set free of foolish doubt
And sanctify my soul

Just like a fish my Lord and King
A loaf within Your hand
Accept me as an offering
That others understand

I pray the lost may come to live
Who walk this world as dead
Lord, take this modest gift I give
This humble fish and bread

Give increase through Your blessing Lord
Speak forth life’s mighty word
Extend salvation’s wondrous sword
Let Heaven’s Truth be heard

Anoint my head sweet Lord divine
Bestow a brand new name
Dispense me as a choice rare wine
Purified by Flame

Fill up with love Your servant’s cup
Baptise my life in grace
Let those I meet both eat and sup
And grow to see Your face

Life’s hungry souls allow to win
Through all from You attained
With peace with joy flowing within
Let Jesus be explained

Humility let reign inside
Virtue through Christ above
With Heaven’s Light as constant guide
Pour out this cup with love
