Take My Life

Have you given everything in your life to God?  Is He Lord over everything in your life?  Have you given up everything to Him?  Friendships?  Family?  Fun? Your future?  Have you given Him your life?  This hymn is about giving your all to God.  "Take my life and let it be consecrated (made separate) to Thee."  Give Him everything, it is all His anyway.  Otherwise, you are saying that you do not trust God that He will do what is best.  You are saying that He doesn't love you enough.  You are saying that you know what is better than God.  You are making yourself your god.  Give everything to Him, and He will make it better than you can imagine. 

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.
