 The Offering Plate Rolled Past Me Again (Rewritten as: “I Gave Him My Praise”)
Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 – “Let us offer the sacrifice of praise…”

Hook:
No money in my pocket deep,
But worship in my soul to keep.
Hebreos 13:15, the gift is praise —
An offering pure that lights His ways.

Pre-Hook:
The plate rolled past, but I still gave,
A hallelujah from the grave.
He didn’t ask for wealth or fame,
Just a heart to lift His name.

Chorus:
I gave Him my praise, mi adoración,
In spirit and truth, without a song.
No gold, no bills, just reverence high,
My offering reached beyond the sky.

Hook-Chorus:
(Choir) He sees the hands that rise in lack,
The voices trembling, still come back.
No treasure shines like worship’s flame —
I gave Him praise and blessed His name.

Bridge:
Psalm 50:23 — “El que ofrece alabanza me glorifica,”
Even broken notes bring fire arriba.
So I laid my crown, I bowed my head,
And worship gave what hunger shed.

Outro:
So when the world can’t see my seed,
I give the praise my King still needs.
The offering plate rolled on ahead —
But my worship stayed and heaven said: "Well done."
