Take My Life and Let It Be

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
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.

Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.

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.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, it shall be ever, only, all for Thee.
-Frances R. Havergal
This song has been on my mind lately. May I always have an attitude that is willing to commit all of myself to the Lord's service. He is worthy to be praised!

Thank you for posting this. It is a much-needed reminder of who I belong to and what my life was created for.

it is one of those songs that is constantly stuck in my head (much to my delight, as it is a reminder to live my life for God.)
