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,
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 am humbled by this song. It empties me before my Lord. Lord make me the vessel of honor for You to use. Amen.

Beautiful song to a beautiful Saviour.

He woke me up this morning and hinted that He wanted the guitar. And this is the main song I sang to Him in the bush, under the stars.

It is a love song.

Thanks for making me to pray well. God bless you.

Ditto to Victor Nwaiwu (Rivers, Nigeria) and Ruth Odondi (Nairobi, Kenya). I attend church in Newark, DE where there are some twenty languages spoken; some of the people are from Kenya, Nigeria, India, England, etc. Perhaps it's from England that this wonderful hymn was spread. One way or the other, surely God is everywhere present, very much alive, and in control. Thanks to Hymnal.net, I not only got the words to the hymn but the music.

Lord Jesus take my will and make it Thine!

A truly inspired song that calls for reverence and submission to Him Who has called us unto Himself, to the praise, glory and honour of His Mighty Name, even the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

This is one of my best hymns.

It's a hymn of total submission and dedication to the Lord Jesus. Each time I sing it, my heart fills with Joy.
