Consecrated, Lord, to Thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Take my hands and let them move
A 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
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

Here am I, all of me
Take my life, it's all for Thee

When my hope is lost
And my strength is gone
I run to you, and you alone
When I can't get up and I can't go on
I run to you, and you alone
'Cause you're my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
Hallelujah
My almighty God divine
Hallelujah
I am yours and you are mine
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're my everything
When I'm plagued with pain
And filled with fear
I run to you, and you alone
When my days are few
And death is near
I run to you, and you alone
'Cause you're my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
Hallelujah
My almighty God divine
Hallelujah
I am yours and you are mine
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
When trouble comes and goes
And when the cold wind blows
I lift my hands up, I lift my hands up
When sorrow knocks me down
and you pick me off the ground
I lift my hands up, I lift my hands up
And I sing, Hallelujah
My almighty God divine
Hallelujah
I am yours, and you are mine
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
By the grace of God above
Hallelujah
Our shining light to shine above
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're my everything
Ohh ohh, you're my everything
The Harsh Truth OUT THERE
@Cheems Do you know?
Life, you never know the minute it ends suddenly, and you can`t get it back.
If only you could read the bible, then you would know perfectly, under who`s power you and I live in this fallen world.
If only you`d know, if only you´d bother to seek, the truth out, while still breathing on this earth.
Do you know what it feel like, to be forgiven all your sins you`ve ever done?
Do you know what it feel like, to feel the love of GOD in you life?
But soul, you don`t know it?. Do you?
You naively believing all these lies.
Shubert Aloysius
7 years ago Christ came to my life! I was at the edge of losing all my sanity. Around 8 am when i woke up from the bed, Christ came and He said IT'S I WHO LOVED YOU FIRST .
That very my moment i fell on my knees and cried. I felt forgiveness and ALL MY SHAME LEFT ME. A great peace came upon me. It's present with me until now.
This song speaks about my heart : Hallelujah
By the grace of God above
Hallelujah
Our shining light to shine above
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're my everything
Ohh ohh, you're my everything

At first I was wondering why you are making a Christian comment on this video then I realized what the song is about lol
JianJunny
I'm not even christian and I feel moved whenever I hear christian rock from Owl City. It's harmless, with postive messages, and actually nostalgic. This man deserves more praise.
Tara Hobson
Good story telling and beat transcends genre. He doesnt have to beat you over the head with faith, its kind of in the message behind a lot of his other songs but the lyrics are fun.
Perfect tone
God will be more praise and used human to make talent and don't ever forget God at all time
Sloop 46 ✝️
All sin such as lying and theft and lust cause people to go to hell. But JESUS CHRIST died in our place so we don't have to go to hell. Everyone dies so everyone will have to face the judgment of GOD. Through JESUS CHRIST you can be forgiven of all your sins. Everyone who doesn't follow JESUS CHRIST is condemned but if you turn away from your sins and confess with your mouth that JESUS IS LORD, believe that JESUS CHRSIT came back to life after the he died for you and put your trust for salvation in JESUS CHRIST you will be saved
