In light of all that Paul has written in the previous chapters, he now urges his readers to live their lives in love and obedience, which is their spiritual act of worship.

LYRICS
Lay down your life
As a living sacrifice.
Brothers and sisters, let me say to you
That you are part of a whole.
There is a gift that God has given you–
To everyone his own, each fiddle plays a role.
To all let love be true,
And bless those who curse you.
Live in peace with all,
And serve the Lord through Jesus.
Lay down your life;
May it be holy and acceptable to God,
As a living sacrifice.
And what about the reigning government?
Should we obey the Lord instead?
You need to see that God’s in charge of it:
Of every president, of every ruling head.
So obey!
Let all in love be sealed
For in love, the law’s fulfilled;
Awake! The hour has come,
So put you on Lord Jesus.
Lay down your life;
May it be holy and acceptable to God.
Be not of this world but be transformed
By the renewal of your mind.
May we be
A living sacrifice
As for the one whose faith is not so strong,
Take heed you do not make him fall;
In times when neither one is right or wrong,
Then do not hold a grudge, and neither should you judge.
To all let love be first
And especially to the church;
Jew and Greek, both strong and weak,
Love each like Jesus.
Lay down your life;
May it be holy and acceptable to God.
Be not of this world but be transformed
By the renewal of your mind.
In time you will discern
What is good, perfect and acceptable to God.
And in God’s design,
He will help you find
His will – divine.
As a living sacrifice.
