Take My Life (And Let It Be)
by Frances R. Havergal, 1874

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 withhold
Take my intellect and use
Every power as You choose

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

Here am I, all of me
Take my life, it's all for Thee


You are listening to Chris Tomlin's rendition.

Btw, has anyone ever heard or seen a McPherson guitar? It's a regular acoustic guitar except the soundhole is off to the side instead of right behind the strings. The result is a really crisp sound, almost metallic yet not metallic sound. I downloaded a few of the sample mp3s they had on their site, it sounds unbelievable! Too bad they're $4000!
