Take and receive, O Lord, my liberty
Take all my will, my mind, my memory
All things I hold and all I own are Thine
Thine was the gift, to Thee I all resign.
Do Thou direct and govern all and sway
Do what Thou wilt, command and I obey
Only Thy grace, Thy love on me bestow
These make me rich, all else will I forego.
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 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 feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice and let me sing
Ever only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
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 heart, it is Thine own
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet my treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Across the land in every nation
A call to all who swear allegiance
To the cross of Christ
A call to true humility
To live our lives responsibly
To deepen our devotion
To the cross at any price.

Moving only in the Spirit.

In a hostile foreign land.

Is repentance and forgiveness
The offer of salvation
To the dying race of man.

Spilling light unsparingly
Throughout a darkened room
Let us burn to know Him deeper
That our service, flaming bright,
Will radiate His passion
And blaze with holy light.

By Him we shall see triumph
In the power of His grace
And as the saints of God surround us
We shall shout out in that place:
Refrain:
Women:
Salvation and glory and power
Belong to our God, to our God!
Men:
Blessing and glory and all power
And all honor and all wisdom
To our God, to our God!
Solo: The voice of one calling in the desert:
All together: Prepare the way of the Lord!
Solo: The voice of one calling in the desert:
All together: Make straight the paths for the Lord!
And every valley shall be lifted up
Every mountain and hill be made low
And the crooked road straight
The rough places plain
And then all the world will see
The salvation of our God!
Refrain:
This is the generation
Of those who seek the Lord.
This is the generation
Called to prepare His way.
So with His armor fit for the fight
With the sword of His Spirit held tight
In the strength of His might
Put God's enemies to flight
And then all the world will see
The salvation of our God!
Refrain:
This is the generation
Of those who seek the Lord.
This is the generation
Called to prepare His way.
So rallied 'round His
Standard raised high
Men of dust now raised to the sky
Side by side, eye to eye
"He is Lord!" as one we'll cry
And then all the world will see
The salvation of our God!
Women: Who is the King of glory, who is He?
Men: He is the Lord, both strong and mighty!
Women: Who is the King of glory, who is He?
Men: The Lord of armies, He is the King of glory!
Refrain:
This is the generation
Of those who seek the Lord.
This is the generation
Called to prepare His way.
And every valley shall be lifted up
Every mountain and hill be made low
And the crooked road straight
The rough places plain
And then all the world will see
The salvation of our God!
There is none like You.
No one else can touch my heart
Like You do.
I can search for all eternity, Lord,
And find there is none like You.
Your mercy flows like a river wide
And healing comes from Your hand.
Suffering children are safe in Your arms
There is none like You.
Therefore the redeemed
Of the Lord shall return,
And come with singing unto Zion
And everlasting joy shall be upon their head.
They shall obtain gladness and joy
And sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Refrain:
Thine, O Lord, it is all Thine.
The greatness, the pow'r and the glory
The victory, the majesty!
For all that is, in heav'n and earth
It all is Thine, it all is Thine!
Thine is the kingdom, O Lord.
Thou art exalted above all.
Riches and honor come from Thee
And over all Thou rulest.
Refrain:
Thine, O Lord, it is all Thine.
The greatness, the pow'r and the glory
The victory, the majesty!
For all that is, in heav'n and earth
It all is Thine, it all is Thine!
Power and might are in Thy hand.
Thou givest strength to all.
So now we thank Thee, our God,
And praise Thy glorious name!
Refrain:
Thine, O Lord, it is all Thine.
The greatness, the pow'r and the glory
The victory, the majesty!
For all that is, in heav'n and earth
It all is Thine, it all is Thine!
Out of the depths we cry to Thee
Lord, hear us, we implore Thee.
Bend down Thy gracious ear to us
Let our pray'r come before Thee.
On our misdeeds in mercy look
O deign to blot them from Thy book
And let us come before Thee.
Thy sov'reign grace and boundless love
Show Thee, O Lord, forgiving.
Our purest thoughts and deeds but prove
in our heart is living.
None guiltless in Thy sight appear
All who approach Thy throne must fear
And humbly trust Thy mercy.
Thou canst be merciful while just
This is our hope's foundation.
In Thy redeeming grace we trust
O grant us Thy salvation.
Upheld by Thee we stand secure
Thy word is firm, Thy promise sure
And we rely upon Thee.
Like those who watch for midnight's hour
To hail the dawning morrow,
We wait for Thee, we trust Thy pow'r
Unmoved by doubt or sorrow.
So let Thy people hope in Thee
And they shall find Thy mercy free
And Thy redemption plenteous.
I will touch your eyes
Do not lose heart.
I will touch you again
Till you see the angels and saints
Surrounding the throne
Till you see the brightness
And majesty of the throne
Where your God reigns forever and ever
You'll see them more clearly
Thousands and thousands
Surrounding the throne
And they're shouting by night
And by day to your God:
Holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!
Holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!
And I'll touch you again
Till you see that your home is in heav'n.
Refrain:
Father, make me to be like Jesus
Wholly conformed to Your will
Seeking only to bring You glory
Your perfect plan to fulfill.
He did not count equality with You
A thing to be grasped for His own
But He chose to empty Himself
To rely on You alone.
Refrain:
Father, make me to be like Jesus
Wholly conformed to Your will
Seeking only to bring You glory
Your perfect plan to fulfill.
He freely took the form of a slave
Being born in the likeness of men
And being found in human form
Humbly His will did bend.
Refrain:
Father, make me to be like Jesus
Wholly conformed to Your will
Seeking only to bring You glory
Your perfect plan to fulfill.
He chose to be obedient
Unto death on a tree
You asked Him to lay down His life
That I might be set free.
Refrain:
Father, make me to be like Jesus
Wholly conformed to Your will
Seeking only to bring You glory
Your perfect plan to fulfill.
Now You have exalted Him
Bestowed on Him the Name
Before whom every knee will bend
And every tongue proclaim.
Refrain:
Father, make me to be like Jesus
Wholly conformed to Your will
Seeking only to bring You glory
Your perfect plan to fulfill.
Refrain:
To see Thee more clearly
To love Thee more dearly
To follow Thee more closely
And to serve Thee faithfully.
What love could this be?
An offering of life for me.
You shared my death and set me free
Allowed me to have new life in Thee
Now all I want is
Refrain:
To see Thee more clearly
To love Thee more dearly
To follow Thee more closely
And to serve Thee faithfully.
My desire is to be like Thee
Let me not have dominion over me.
Grant me the grace to be
Acceptable and holy as I come to Thee.
Now all I want is
Refrain:
To see Thee more clearly
To love Thee more dearly
To follow Thee more closely
And to serve Thee faithfully.
Refrain:
All praise to Him

All thanks to Him

We gladly follow in obedience to Him
Our God and King

And constantly He proves Himself our help.

Immortal and invisible,
The only God!
Be honor and glory
Forever and ever!
Be honor and glory
Forever and ever!
Amen!
To You, our King, we give glory
For what we preach is not ourselves
But Jesus Christ as our Lord
With ourselves as your servants.
You are the Lord
Great is Your name in heaven and earth
And here I am to worship and bow down
To the source of all I have.
Your love I will bring
As long as I live, to the ends of the earth
Though there are trials, I will press on
Till I see You face to face.
I'm trading my sorrow
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down
For the joy of the Lord.
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down
For the joy of the Lord.
And we say:
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord.
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord.
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord,
Amen!
I'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted, not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
And His joy's gonna be my strength.
Though the sorrow may last for the night
Joy comes with the morning.
And we say:
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord.
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord.
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord,
Amen!
