this song has been on my heart all week. words much easier said and sung than actually done. the lord has been using a series of circumstances [which i hope to blog about at some point] to show me that i can sing these words without batting an eye, but there are a few things in my life that i am not so comfortable giving up. take my life minus these few things... i have had to remind myself this week that the lord is god and there is no other and he reigns and provides. no sacrifice to him is actually a sacrifice because by giving up things here, i am gaining something infinitely greater.
(i embeded the video just do you could give it a quick listen to. i did not know how to have the song play here otherwise.)
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 might would i withhold.
take my intellect and use every power as you choose.
::chorus::
here am I, all of me.
take my life, it's all for thee.
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 your feet its treasure store
take myself and i will be ever, only all for thee,
take myself and i will be ever, only all for thee.
here am i, all of me.
take my life, it's all for thee.
(take my life, tord take my life. take all of me)
here am I, all of me.
take my life, it's all for thee.
