Feast of Dedication -- Teaching my little grandchildren the roots of our Christian Faith




Hanukkah
Words and Music by Marty Goetz
Make my life Your temple
L-rd at this season start
To pull down every idol I have raised up in my heart
Chorus
On this Hanukkah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Take my defiled altar
Come and cleanse and come repair
So every time I falter I can run to meet you there
Chorus
On this Hanukkah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Bridge
And with every candle on the menorah
That illuminates the night
Comes a prayer You’d kindle
In me, Yeshua, a desire for Your fire, for Your light
Make of my mortal body
A house worthy of Your Name
Rid me of what’s ungodly and every hidden thing of shame
Chorus
On this Hanukkah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Bridge
And with every candle on the menorah
That illuminates the night
Comes a prayer You’d kindle
In me, Messiah, a desire for Your fire, for Your light
Take my supply of oil
Not enough to burn long I fear
But, oh, how I pray I may one day say, “A great miracle happened here!”
Chorus
On this Hanukkah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
My Yeshua I dedicate myself to You.
