Take my life

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. 

4
Take my silver and my gold; 
not a mite would I withhold. 
Take my intellect and use 
every power as thou shalt choose, 
every power as thou shalt choose.

5
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.

6
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.
