Take My Life and Let Me Be

[an american-truth version]

 

Take my tithe and let it be

satisfact'ry, Lord, to Thee.

Take my cash and let it prove

that I'm filled with naught but love;

that I'm filled with naught but love.

 

Take two hours and let them be

swift and beautiful for Thee

Take my voice and let me sing

Gorgeous, pretty, full and deep;

Gorgeous, pretty, full and deep.

 

If you'd make me rich with gold,

not a mite would I withhold.

Take my moments and my plans,

bless them, make them work as planned;

bless them, make them work as planned.

 

Take my Will and make it Thine,

You'll never have it otherwise.

Take my heart and forcefully,

'cause I'll ne'er give it willingly;

'cause I'll ne'er give it willingly.
