Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated
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 Every pow'r as Thou shalt choose, Every pow'r as Thou shalt choose. 5 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. 6 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.
