Consecration

Representative Text

1 Since Jesus gave His life for me,
should I not give him mine?
I'm consecrated, Lord, to Thee,
I shall be wholly Thine.

Refrain:
My life, O Lord, I give to Thee,
my talents, time, and all; I'll
serve Thee, Lord, and faithful be,
I'll hear Thy faintest call.

2 I care not where my Lord directs,
His purpose I'll fulfill;
I know He ev'ryone protects
who does His holy will. [Refrain]

3 My home and friends are dear to me,
yet He is dearer still;
in my affections first He'll be,
and first His righteous will. [Refrain]

4 My all, O Lord, to Thee I give,
accept it as Thine own;
for Thee alone I'll ever live,
my heart shall be Thy throne. [Refrain]
