Lyrics
Verse 1
Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love, At the impulse of Thy love.
Verse 2
Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee; Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King, Always, only, for my King.
Verse 3
Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee; Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold, Not a mite would I withhold.
Verse 4
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.
Verse 5
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.
