RECEIVE OUR GIFTS

"Receive Our Gifts" is a gentle, straightforward offertory hymn that speaks directly to the heart of the Eucharistic preparation. Written by Tony Fatuki, the song provides a humble soundtrack for the moment the congregation brings forward the bread, wine, and their personal offerings to the altar.

The lyrics focus on surrender and unworthiness, especially in the second verse where the choir sings, "Do not look on our sinfulness Lord, take these which we bring to you." It is a very human plea, reminding the faithful that we come to the altar not because we are perfect, but because we trust in God's blessing. The simple, repeating melody allows the whole church to easily join in the prayer of offering.
