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 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.

I grew up singing this song. I came across the book, “ Kept for the Masters Use” by the author of this song, Francis Ridley Haverhill. This book is like a devotional. She takes each verse and challenges the reader to commit every part of ones self to God fully. She penned this book right befor she passed away in 1879!!! It is worth reading, it has caused me to sing it in a truly different light, all of me is yours , my Lord.

Thank you Lord for always being ready to accept us back when we call on you. When sung in faith, this song has helped me surrender all to the will of God and find joy in serving Him by serving His people with all I have - my body, mind and money. To Him alone be glory!

I rejoice as I read posts from my brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world. I am blessed by your consecration to the Lord. I am so glad that you have been blessed by this song as you have given yourselves fully to our Lord Jesus. I have just sung this song slowly and quietly, trying to meditate on each word at a time when I have received news of a very positive Gospel advance. He is worthy of it all!

Revised version:

1. Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Chorus:

For me, You were mocked and crucified;

For me, willingly You bled and died.

Lord, my life and love I willingly outpour

And will serve You ever more.

2. Take my hands and feet, I pray,

For Thy work, to run Thy way.

Take my lips that I may sound

Word of truth to those around.

3. Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose.

4. Make my heart and will Thine own;

They belong to Thee alone.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

5. Take me, Lord, till I've become

Ever joined to Thee as one.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.
