Here are some suggestions for hymns and songs with a thanksgiving or stewardship theme which are especially suitable for the offertory.
| All I once held dear
All my hope on God is founded All that I am, All that I do Angel Voices ever singing Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Blessed be your name Christ is our corner-stone Fill thou my life, O Lord my God For the beauty of the earth Forth in your name, O Lord I go From heaven you came (The Servant King) Give thanks with a grateful heart Giving it all to you God forgave my sin (Freely, freely) God is the giver of all things (Timothy Dudley Smith) God of grace and God of glory (Cwm Rhondda) How deep the Father’s love for us I’m giving you my heart (I surrender) In the bleak midwinter |
I will offer up my life in spirit and truth
Lord for the years your love has kept Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy Lord of all power, I give you my will Meekness and Majesty O for a heart to praise my God O Jesus I have promised O Thou who camest from above Oceans (you call me out upon the waters) Seek ye first the Kingdom of God Sent forth by God’s blessing Take my life and let it be Thank you for saving me The God of Grace is ours (Timothy Dudley Smith) This is my desire (Lord, I give you my heart) Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour When I survey the wondrous cross
