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 hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee, 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, filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose, every power Thou shalt 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, it shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself, and I will be ever only all for Thee, ever only all for Thee.

 "I want to make sure it’s people, not projects that occupy the sacred places of my heart.

Leave space to linger just a bit after dinner around the sticky farm table.

Leave space for friendships less pixilated by getting off the computer and seeking more face-to-face time.

Leave space for laughter and loud singing on car rides long or short.

Leave space for the to-do lists to prioritize people, not just projects.

Leave space for the talks and walks and the crazy inside jokes.

Leave space for folding his collar over his tie.

Leave space for the unrushed yes."
