Take My Life, and Let It Be

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

2.	Take my voice, and let me sing 
	always, only, for my King. 
	Take my lips, and let them be 
	filled with messages from thee. 
	Take my silver and my gold; 
	not a mite would I withhold. 
	Take my intellect, and use 
	every power as thou shalt choose.

3.	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. 
	Take my love, my Lord, I pour 
	at thy feet its treasure-store. 
	Take myself, and I will be 
	ever, only, all for thee.
