Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord to Thee
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in endless 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 voice and let me sing, always only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be 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.
Take my will and make it Thine, it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is Thine own, it shall be Thine 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
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. [Gal 2:20]

fasting
John Piper says, “The absence of fasting is the measure of our contentment with the absence of Christ.” Piper adds, “If we don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.”
