Hymn of the Week

Well, here it is- my last week in Charlottesville. I've been sadly/excitedly looking forward to this week for a long time, and now I'm smack-dab in the middle of it. It's an incredibly strange reality, as I find myself doing things "one last time," and saying goodbyes to people, all the while not knowing when/if I will do or see them again.

My heart is slowly and surely processing this, and in the midst of it all, I am finding myself singing one of my favorite hymns. Will you sing and pray it with me, as I hope to walk this day, this week, and all those that lie ahead in surrender to my Beloved Jesus?

"Take My Life"

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
And 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 Thou shall 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 recommend Jadon Lavik's version, if you are looking to make an itunes purchase)
