Take my life and let it be
Verse 1
Take my life and let it be
All you purpose Lord for me
Consecrate my passing days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Verse 2
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of your love
Take my feet and let them run
With the news of victory won
I’m giving it all to you
I’m losing my life to you
I’m choosing to follow you today
I’m giving it all to you
I’m losing my life to you
Jesus, have it all your way
Verse 3
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King
Take my lips let them proclaim
All the beauty of your name
Verse 4
Take my wealth all I possess
Make me rich in faithfulness
Take my mind that I may use
Every power as you shall choose
Verse 5
Take my love my Lord I pour
At your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
Yours for all eternity
