Take Me

These following words is a song the Lord gave me one day while in prayer. I never intended for the song to be sang in public, I just considered it to be a intimate prayer in which I would sing to my Lord at certain times. But I have sang it a few times in public now, and today I feel I should share these words, if for none other, than simply to remind myself.


“Take my eyes, and put em’ on you.
Take my hands, so they can do what they oughta’ do,
And take my heart, make it what it oughta’ be,
Lord please, take me.”

It is just a simple chorus I know, but many times I have found myself singing these words from the very depths of my soul. It is so easy to get our spiritual eyes, mind, and ways off of Him. When we let our eyes lose focus of Him, our hands often become busy building our own dreams, and our heart becomes cold and indifferent. But when we realize our situation, we can always have a prayer, “Lord!!! Forgive me, for letting my eyes become blurry with my ways. Forgive me, for letting these hands that should have been building your kingdom, become so vain and idol with the building up of my temporal dreams, and wants. Forgive me, for letting this heart slide into such a lukewarm state, while being set on the things of this present life. Lord, Forgive Me, And Take Me! Take me! Take total control of these eyes! Take total control of this heart, and mind! Take control of these hands! Lord take all of me! I no longer want my dreams! I no longer want my desires! I only want you to take full control of me! I only want you to totally take me, and own me. I am yours! I am tired of my dreams coming to reality as no more than an empty promise. I am tired of building up my own world, just to watch it collapse before my eyes. I am tired of being far away from you, so that I can only try an satisfy my little ways. Lord!! I need you to take me! My life is dead without you living yourself through me totally. Take me.”

Beloved, let Him take you. Ask Him to take total control of your heart, mind, body, soul, to take everything you are, and everything you hope to be. Let Him have all of you. Let Him simply take you.
