O ver the skies of Beth le hem ap peared a star,

Three wise men (F5)seek ing truth (Bb)trav eled from a far,

hop ing to find the Child from heav en.

(Bb)Fall ing on their knees,

they (Asus)bowed be fore the (Dm)hum ble (C)Prince (Bbsus2)of Peace.

I bring an of fer ing of wor ship to my King.

No one on earth de serves the prais es that I sing.

Je sus, may You re ceive the hon or that You’re due.

Oh, Lord, I bring an of fer ing to You.

I bring an of fer ing to You.

The sun can not com pare to the (Bb)glo ry of Your love.

There is no shad ow in Your pres ence.

No mor tal man would dare to stand be fore Your throne,

be fore the Ho ly One of heav en.

It’s (Bb)on ly by Your blood,

and it’s (Asus)on ly through Your (Dm)mer cy, (C)Lord, (Bbsus2)I come.

I bring an of fer ing of wor ship to my King.

No one on earth de serves the prais es that I sing.

Je sus, may You re ceive the hon or that You’re due.

Oh, Lord, I bring an of fer ing to You.

I bring an of fer ing of wor ship to my King.

No one on earth de serves the prais es that I sing.

Je sus, may You re ceive the hon or that You’re due.

Oh, Lord, I bring an of fer ing to You.

I bring an of fer ing to You.

Oh, Lord, I bring an of fer ing to You.

Oh, Lord, I bring an of fer ing to You.

I bring an of fer ing to You.
