This is my song to You
A melody of thanks for You
An expression of wonder
At Your beauty and Your splendor
No other cry have I
Than to know You more and lift You high
Oh God of infinite glory
Above all You are worthy
What can I bring to You
Simply a song of love and boundless gratitude
My whole life for You
You've rescued me from death
Given me Your kingdom and blessed me with Your love
Countless mercies from above
This is my song to You
A melody of thanks for You
An expression of wonder
At Your beauty and Your splendor
No other cry have I
Than to know You more and lift You high
Oh God of infinite glory
Above all You are worthy
What can I bring to You
Simply a song of love and boundless gratitude
My whole life for You, yeah
You've rescued me from death
Given me Your kingdom and blessed me with Your love
Countless mercies from above
Had I riches, I would bring them
Had I kingdoms, I would lose them
Had I the world, too small a gift would it be
My love for You
Had I riches, I would bring them
Had I kingdoms, I would lose them
Had I the world, too small a gift would it be for You
What can I bring to You
Simply a song of love and boundless gratitude
My whole life for You

"What Can I Bring" by Jeremy Riddle is a powerful and heartfelt song that captures the essence of worship and gratitude towards God. The lyrics speak of offering our whole lives as a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to the One who has rescued us and blessed us with His love.
The song begins with the acknowledgment that our song to God is a melody of thanks, an expression of wonder at His beauty and splendor. It sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the awe and reverence we feel towards God. It also reminds us that there is no other cry we have but to know Him more and lift Him high, highlighting our desire to have a deeper relationship with Him.
The lyrics continue to reflect on the question, "What can I bring to You?" This question is a genuine expression of our hearts as we seek to offer something to God in response to His goodness and mercy towards us. The answer, as the song suggests, is simply a song of love and boundless gratitude. It reminds us that our worship and praise are not about material possessions or grand gestures, but about the posture of our hearts and the sincerity of our love for God.
The song also alludes to the idea of surrendering our lives to God. It speaks of God rescuing us from death and giving us His kingdom. This is a reference to the salvation and redemption we have received through Jesus Christ. It reminds us that our lives are not our own, but belong to God. It challenges us to offer our whole lives as a living sacrifice, dedicating everything we have and everything we are to Him.
Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of God's infinite glory and worthiness. It acknowledges that no matter what we bring or offer to God, it will always be too small in comparison to His greatness. This echoes the sentiment expressed in Scripture, particularly in Psalm 96:8, which says, "Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts."
Furthermore, the song encourages us to consider what we would bring to God if we had riches or kingdoms. It challenges us to think beyond the material possessions of this world and recognize that the most valuable gift we can offer to God is our love and devotion. It reminds us of the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:37, where He says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
"What Can I Bring" is a profound and meaningful song that resonates with believers who desire to worship God with their whole hearts. It inspires us to reflect on the goodness and faithfulness of God and to respond with a sincere outpouring of love and gratitude. Through its lyrics, it reminds us of the importance of surrendering our lives to God and offering ourselves as living sacrifices. It encourages us to seek a deeper relationship with Him and to continually lift His name high. Ultimately, the song reminds us that God is worthy of all our praise and adoration, and that our worship should be motivated by a genuine love for Him.
