My life, my love, I give to Thee

E457 P209
1
My life, my love, I give to Thee,
Thou Lamb of God who died for me;
Oh, may I ever faithful be,
  My Savior and my God!
 
I'll live for Him who died for me,
How happy then my life shall be!
I'll live for Him who died for me,
    My Savior and my God!
2
The world and all its joys I leave;
My life, O Lord, Thou wilt receive;
Henceforth no more Thyself I'll grieve,
  My Savior and my God!
3
O Thou who died on Calvary,
To save my soul and make me free,
That I may ever live for Thee
  My Savior and my God!

Indeed CHRIST orchestrated us being alive. Lord Jesus, I will forever give my Life, my love and everything to you JESUS. YOU ARE INDEED THE LAMB WHO DIED AND ROSE AGAIN. MAY YOUR NAME BE PRAISED.

This poem was taught to me about 25 years ago by an elderly women who today is 104 years old. She now only recites two hymns and this the one that she will recite the most. When I walk her down the halls she continually recites it and all the stall at the nursing now knows that hymn. She will have a special place with in heaven

This is the inspirational song that challenge believers to re-dedicate their precious life for the master (Jesus Christ)

The music is so fitting for the lyrics. So uplifting. I will be teaching this song to my 3rd and 4th graders. I’m sure it will make a difference in their lives as it is doing to mine. 🙏🏽

I and my family cannot be grateful enough to the work of the Holy Spirit through the composer of this inspiring and reviving hymn. Likewise the committed pianist, I love you all.

My Savior and my God."
