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.
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use,
Take my intellect, and use,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
At Thy feet its treasure - store.
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
The Lord asked for nothing from You and I than Consecration and Holiness. It's just as if F. R. Havergal knew all the Lord wanted and i wondered how this wonder piece of song was compiled.
Thoroughly the mind reflected a broken heart which has surrendered unto the will of the Lord.
I know Lord want our hearts and here i have put down the song for every one that read this blog.Today it is a blog of Consecration. It's also about Holiness.
The truth is that to work for the Lord you must be Consecrated and you must be Holy both in mind and deeds.Havergal said in the song that the Lord shoud have the Life He has given her in the first.She is thoughtful in doing that.Let me ask this simple question Have you given your Life to Jesus as well.She (Havergal) wanted her Life , days and moments in them to be filled with ceaseless praise.You can't do away with giving your life to Christ if you want the end result of ceaseless praise.
I marvelled whenever i sang the next verses, because i believed this woman will never use both her hands and feet to go and open that cinema door where Micheal Jackson album is going to be played. Her feet will never got near the dance floor.Iam sure she will get those materials in dire need for God's use in any part of her country to send to where they are needed.
What she could think of , she gave God all them all.Talkof her voice, her silver and gold, her intellect, her will, her heart, her love and her , her , her all...........
What will you give unto the Lord today and forever.
He said in one song
I gave , i gave , my life to thee,
what have u given to me...
I gave , i gave , my life to thee, what have u given to me...
