I give my life to you
Wholly available
Faithful and true
And in my life
Let your light be seen
So that the world may know
I am your child
Take me Lord
I am your child
Send me Lord
Set my heart on fire
Take me Lord
I am your child
Send me Lord
Set my heart on fire.
I'll take this time
Lord to say I love you
I'll take this time
To bow before your throne
