Lord, take my life

Lord, so often I’m like Thomas
Who would not receive:
“Unless I see Your face, Lord, I would not believe…”
But then You would appear…
“My Lord and my God”
Saying, Blessed are they who see not, yet believe.

I have someone deep within me
Welling up in me each day.
Even though I have not seen Him in such an outward way—
“Whom having not seen, I love,
I love, oh so much.
And by having His life, yes, I believe.”
(Chorus)

Day by day I look forward to
That time I spend with You.
Just as Mary poured her love out,
O Lord, I would too.
Grant me, Lord, a heart
that’s single and true.
And a daily life that’s living just by You.

So when daily I see trials
And tribulations sore,
May I put my trust in You, Lord,
“For Christ has gone before”
And open to Your living Word,
Receiving faith—
Reach me, Lord, with Your mercy and Your grace.
(Chorus)
