Take My Life And Let It Be?
Lyrics: Frances Havergal
Sung by: Chelsie Boyd
- Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
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;
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 moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose. - 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.
