The following is the lyrics to Nicole Nordeman's song "My Offering" on the Woven and Spun cd. (A cd, by the way, that I would wholly recommend to anyone and everyone. The entire cd is awesome.) If I could play the piano very well, I'd learn this song. I think it's just beautiful. The ultimate message is one I'd want said of my life: no matter what God has made me, I do and will have a song of praise to sing.
"If you made me, like the grass that is green, growing tall and covering the hills above me, maybe I would pray for sunshine and a little rain to fall now and then to make me lovely. I would be a place where sheep could graze or barefoot feet could play. I would grow and grow, and hope You'd bend down low, and I would sing my offering.
"Open up the heavens; open up the sky. 'Cause all of Your creation wants to testify. I have a song. So let the earth sing along. 'Cause I just want to praise You.
"If you made me like a cloud in the sky and found the perfect place way up high where I could hover. Maybe I would pray for skies that were blue or a sunset or two to show Your colors. Or maybe I might be a mountain tall and steep. But I would try and stand as tall as I can, and I would sing my offering.
"Open up the heavens; open up the sky. 'Cause all of Your creation wants to testify. I have a song. So let the earth sing along. 'Cause I just want to praise You.
"The sun every morning cannot wait to shine. And the stars in the evening are all standing by to light the sky. Give the rocks and the stones voices of their own if we forget to sing praises to our King.
"Open up the heavens; open up the sky. 'Cause all of Your creation wants to testify. We just want to praise You; we just want to praise You."
