(This is a repost from 4/10/2016...so some things have changed...but not this message...and I think it is a great message to share one week after Easter...Has Easter made any difference in our lives? Are we more "Consecrated, Lord to Thee?" than before? If not, maybe it's a good time to review this little song and the message it brings to our hearts. May this season after Easter lead us into a closer walk with our Lord after all He has done for us...)
Original Post 4/10/2016:
We sang an old hymn this morning in our Home Bible Fellowship...and I was surprised that not many of our small group were familiar with this song...
"Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
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,
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,
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 Thou shalt choose,
Every power 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,
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,
Every, Only, all for Thee."
Amen
Written by Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879.
Here is a link to a worship version of this song that I think you will enjoy singing along with me.
Do you know what it means to be "Consecrated, Lord, to Thee"?
