Dedication Day

by Gord Coulson

Verse 1

A                         E        A

Lord, we come to you with contrite hearts

A                    E        A

We know you loved us from the start

A                    C#m    F#m

Our many sins please wash away

   D         A       G    E

By Calvary’s Victory Day

We bow before your glorious throne

Our present life no more our own

We pledge to always walk The Way

From this dedication day

 

Chorus

F#m7      C#7              F#m7

Leaving behind all of this world’s

             B

Dreams and desires

F#m7       C#7               F#m7

Living for you no longer for me

Your love is a fire

The Flame of Jah consumes me

Verse 2

Lord, we ask you please to grant us peace

Your Spirit in our hearts we seek

Abba, Father, we do not deserve

This kindness and free given grace

It’s an honor just to be your child

Like baby Moses we float down the Nile

May you guide us to your house of peace:

Your children who serve at your feet

(Chorus)

 

Bridge

Put me in the water, wash me

D                                  G      C G       

Leave behind the “old man” and his sin forever

Lift me up to heaven, a new life will begin!
