The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your Presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your blood
And it's only through you mercy
Lord, I come
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your Presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your blood
And it's only through Your mercy
Lord, I come
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering of worship to my King (to my King)
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing (that I sing)
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
O Lord, I bring an offering to You (yeah)
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You
To You, my King, I bring an offering to You, Lord
Oh, my King, Jesus, my King
I bring an offering to You, to You, my King
Oh, it's the least that I can do
Sacrifice of praise, offering, thanks and gratitude
To You, my King, to You
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
Bless you Lord
Receive our praise and our thanks, our gratitude
About This Song
"Offering" is a deeply reverent worship song that explores the profound theological tension between human unworthiness and divine grace. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of God's overwhelming holiness-comparing His glory to the sun and emphasizing the impossibility of mortals standing before His throne-while simultaneously celebrating the miraculous access believers have through Christ's sacrificial blood. Baloche masterfully captures the paradox of worship: we are utterly undeserving, yet invited into intimate relationship with the Creator. The song's central metaphor of bringing an "offering" transforms the act of worship from mere singing into a sacred transaction, where praise becomes a gift presented to a King who deserves infinitely more than we could ever give. Musically, the track features Baloche's signature acoustic-driven style with gentle builds that mirror the emotional journey from awe-struck humility to confident declaration. The melody rises and falls with contemplative verses that create space for reflection, followed by soaring choruses that invite corporate participation. This combination of theological depth and accessible musicality made "Offering" a staple in contemporary Christian worship, resonating with congregations who found in it a perfect expression of their desire to honor God while acknowledging their complete dependence on His mercy. The song's enduring popularity stems from its ability to articulate the heart of Christian worship-the grateful response of the redeemed to an incomparably holy and loving God.
