Take My Life And Let It Be

A Christian hymn by Frances Ridley Havergal. The lyrics speak of offering all of ourselves to God for His use and glory - our life, hands, voice, resources, will and love. In Romans 12:1, Paul writes to the Roman Christians to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is their true and proper worship. He writes this instruction in the context of God's mercy shown to them when He offered salvation not just to the Jews, but to the Gentiles as well.

Indeed salvation has been made available to us through what Jesus had done on the cross - a sacrifice once for all, for all who would believe in Him as Lord and Saviour. And how should we respond to such great a mercy? By offering all of our lives to Him - Take my life and let it be, consecrated Lord to Thee!
