Midweek Praise Wednesday 11 August 2021

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.

Take my silver and my gold,
not a mite would I withhold;
take my intellect, and use
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.

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

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
to me has been made known;
nor why - unworthy as I am –
He claimed me for His own.

But, ‘I know whom I have believed;
and am persuaded that He is able
to keep that which I’ve committed
unto Him against that day.’

I know not how this saving faith
to me He did impart;
or how believing in His word
wrought peace within my heart.

But, ‘I know whom I have believed;
and am persuaded that He is able
to keep that which I’ve committed
unto Him against that day.’

I know not what of good or ill
may be reserved for me -
of weary ways or golden days
before His face I see.

But, ‘I know whom I have believed;
and am persuaded that He is able
to keep that which I’ve committed
unto Him against that day.’
