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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

The LORD allowed me to awaken very early this morning in order to spend some uninterrupted time alone with Him. This is a rarity as a stay at home mother of three young children! As I was praying and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to me what I need to change in my life to become more Holy, this song sprung to my mind. I haven't heard it since I was a child, and the lyrics resonated with the longing in my soul. "Take myself and I will be ever only all for Thee!"

As I meditated and prayed, saying I put God at the center of my life, I put out my left hand and asked to be touched, for a response, silently said, "Come, Holy Spirit, Come." This hymn sprang into my mind, heart, and being. How wonderful, awesome, unknown yet ever present is the Creator.

The HOLY SPIRIT is challenging His church with this song as we have allowed worldliness and materialism into the church. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, and cleanse us from our Unrighteousness. Heal our backsliding in Jesus name. Say Amen.

Take my All and make it thine Lord Jesus.
I love You and it is All about You.

I just woke up this morning at 5:03 and the Holy Spirit laid this song in my heart. For sometime now The Lord is taking me on a journey of consecration. Teaching me how to live HOLY. Giving Him my heart. The words in this hymn are prayers points as God santifies me for Himself. Oh Lord, please take my ALL; Holy Spirit help me to yield totally to God in Jesus' name...Amen!

This is an old hymn that never grow old. It speaks volume in content and exhibits self denial to His Lordship when you submit to Him to control your impulse then He becomes the center of your worship. Romans:12 vs 1-2. A living sacrifice an offering daily to Him.

Yesterday after service with Rev. Oko, this song just appeared on my lips and I began to sing it with joy. It was a prayer and a desire in my heart for some time now and more than ever I want to dedicate my whole life to Him.

Frances Havergal called this hymn "Consecration Hymn," yet somehow we all know it by the the first line. It is truly a wonderful hymn. Do you ever think about your hands being dedicated to the Lord? And your lips? And your intellect? It is glorious!

I just got up from a terrible sick, all I could offer to God is a total surrender of my self to HIM. Thanks to this song.
Hello, I was about to pray this morning and the Holy Spirit let me begin to think on this song. I literally prayed on the words of the hymn. I wonder what God was doing in the writer's life for him/her to write such powerful life changing lyrics. I need God now like he/she need Him then.
