1 Here’s my life!
I lay it on the altar— here’s my life!
No more to wait or falter— here’s my life!
Lord divine,
I’ve heard Your voice, so tender,
That calls to full surrender,
I can no longer disobey;
I’ve made the great decision,
My eyes have caught the vision,
I gladly yield my all today.

2 Here’s my life!
No more for self to hold it— here’s my life!
For faithful service mold it— here’s my life!
Use me, Lord,
Wherever You may need me,
I’ll follow where You lead me,
Your perfect will is best for me;
To far and distant races,
At home in friendly places,
I’ll bear the news of Calvary.

Here’s my life,
Here’s my life,
Here’s my life!
