Take My Life

By: Chris Tomlin

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 might would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use every power as you choose.

::Chorus::
Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for thee.

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 your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee,
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee.

It was tonight, just now, when I was practising singing in the worship band for my church.
It was the first time, I sang this song
It was the first time, in my life, I think,
..when I had to cry in the middle of a rehearsal.
Life, silver, golds, money, will
voice, heart, love
All these things are things I have been having difficulty
to surrender to Thee.

It was tonight, just now, when I was, once again, reminded
He is worthy
He is more than anything
Nia, you can surrender everything,...
Your future.
Your future job, as now you are applying for one
Your future husband, as now you are having relationship with Bang Tepy
Your future finance, as now you are struggling and praying for a better situation
Your future education, as now you are thinking for Master program
and even your short-term future plan,..
your final dissertation, your trip back, for good, to Indonesia

Now,
in front of you
in this medium
I surrender my life,..
Lord, Take My Life
and use it for Your Glory.

P.S. Dad, Mom, Adrian, I dedicate this song to you.
