- Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
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 withhold. - Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r 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 and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
For quite a few years this has been one of my favorite hymns. It could be used as a prayer. And, it should be used as one. We should pray that every movement of our hands, every step we take, every thought we have, every word that leaves our mouths would be used for God's glory.
