Entire Consecration - Take My Life and Let it Be (Canaan Melodies #18)

Frances Ridley Havergal's famous poem of consecration made it into the Church of the Nazarene's 1914 "Canaan Melodies" hymnal. This version includes a refrain written by the great hymnwriter William J Kirkpatrick. I changed the beat a little to give it an upbeat pop-rock feel, with the help of my CrossRoad bandmates. Hope this will inspire you to make your entire consecration to the Lord!

1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,

2 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.

Refrain:
Wash me in the Saviour’s precious blood
Cleanse me in its purifying flood
Lord I give to Thee, my life and all, to be
Thine, henceforth, eternally

3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from Thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as Thou shalt choose.

5 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.

6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.
