Hymns to the Living God ‎#243

243. Take My Life

1 Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2 Take my hands, and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee,
swift and beautiful for Thee.

3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from Thee,
filled with messages from Thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose,
ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will and make it Thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
it shall be Thy royal throne,
it shall be Thy royal throne.

6 Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at Thy feet its treasure store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee,
ever, only, all for Thee.
