My Tribute
Author Artist: Andrae Crouch
[Verse:]
How can I say thanks
for the things You have done for me?
Things so undeserved,
yet You gave to prove Your love for me;
the voices of a million angels
could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to Thee.
[Chorus 1:]
To God be the glory,
to God be the glory,
to God be the glory
for the things He has done.
[Chorus 2:]
With His blood He has saved me,
with His power He has raised me;
to God be the glory
for the things He has done.
[Bridge:]
Just let me live my life,
let it pleasing, Lord to Thee,
and if I gain any praise,
let it go to Calvary.
[Chorus 2]
Additional song verse:
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the
glory,
Forever, Amen
When my mother passed away this past April, I sang this to her
lifeless body minutes after she departed for heaven and also shared it at her
memorial service. My hope was that her
friends and family could know of her own testimony and Christian faith and be
touched by Christ's love in their own lives.
In my twenties, I
was blessed to be able to sing My Tribute
as a solo in my little church in Alaska. To God Be the Glory!

I hope that you enjoyed
reading and soaking in the lovely words, now, try listening to the way they
sound in song with music and repeated verses.
It’s so very lovely and such a great praise song to God. Here is a video clip you will enjoy of the
song performed by an internationally known Norway soprano artist, Sissel
Kyrkjebø and the Oslo gospel choir (a really nice jazzy version): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiB4SEgOkow.
May the Lord bless and
keep you. May he shine his light upon
you and be gracious unto thee.
