Christ for the Nations Institute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Concecrated lord to thee,
Take my hands and let them move,
At the impulse of thy love,
At the impulse of thy love.
...
Take my feet and let them be,
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always only for my king,
Always only for my king.
...
Take my silver and my Gold,
Not a mite would i withold,
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceasless praise,
Let them flow in ceasless praise.
...
Take my will, it is thy own,
It shall be thy royal throne,
Take my heart it is thy own,
It shall be thy royal throne,
It shall be thy royal throne.
...
Take my life and let it be,
Concecrated lord to thee,
Take my hands and let them move,
At the impulse of thy love,
At the impulse of thy love.

(The End)
The lyrics in Christ for the Nations Institute's song "Take My Life and Let It Be" express a deep desire to consecrate one's entire being to God. The beginning of the song opens with a plea to give everything to God, including one's hands and feet, allowing them to move and work at the impulse of His love. The focus then shifts to using one's voice to sing praises only to the King of Kings. The next verse speaks about surrendering all possessions, recognizing that everything truly belongs to God, and choosing to use every moment and day to bring continuous honor and glory to Him.
