Take My Life

I have been listening to the same CD for about a week now:Passion: Hymns Ancient and Modern. It is awesome! I have been listening to it every night as a fall asleep and playing track 14 before i get out of bed in the mornings. I know that is kind of obsessive, but I like it.

Take My Life by Chris Tomlin is my current favorite song. This is the one I play before I get out of bed each morning. A good reminder of what my life is really about. It is hard to say "Here am I," its like I am saying that it is OK for God to do what He wants in my life, regardless of the pain and suffering it may bring. I don't like the idea of that at all! At the same time it is also a good reminder that all the matters is how I love God and glorify His name.

Take my life and let it be consecrated to thee.
Take my moments and my days,let them flow in seas of sprays.
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 might 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 that 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 will be ever, only all for thee,take my love, my lord I will be ever, only all for thee.
Here am I, All of me.
