Take our Lives

Lost in a lie confused by what is true

For seeking to fit it into our own view

Answers don'rt work and the questions don't fit

Only a miracle can make sense of it

Take our will take our way-Take our self all away

Until all that's left is you and a creation that is new

Take our lives, Lord let them be yours we pray!

If we turn away empty from the world's promises

And turn to the fountain of life and confess

"Fill us with your precious life!" we call

And be to us our all in all!

Take our will take our way-Take our self all away

Until all that's left is you and a creation that is new

Take our lives, Lord let them be yours we pray!

We're like a deer that pants for water- you're like a flowing stream

You will quench our thirsting spirits and design our every dream

For youare sufficient for life and for me

You are the answer and the victory

Youy make us triumphant in your sweet grace

You make us complete when we seek your face!

Take our will take our way-Take our self all away

Until all that's left is you and a creation that is new

Take our lives, Lord let them be yours we pray!
