|
You have longed for sweet peace |
|
And for faith to increase |
|
You have earnestly, so fervently |
|
Oh, you really prayed |
|
Oh, yes you have |
|
But you cannot find rest |
|
Nor be perfectly blessed |
|
Until on the altar, until it's laid |
|
Is your all on the altar |
|
Of sacrifice, is it laid? |
|
Your heart, does the spirit control? |
|
Now, you can only |
|
You can only be blessed |
|
And have peace and sweet rest |
|
After you have yielded unto the Lord |
|
Your body and your soul, oh yes |
|
Is your all on the altar of sacrifice, of sacrifice laid? |
|
Your heart, does the spirit control? |
|
You can only, only, only be blessed |
|
And have peace and sweet rest |
|
After you have yielded Him |
|
Yielded Him your body and your soul, oh |
|
That's all He wants |
|
Everything, everything, everything |
|
So, would you walk with the Lord |
|
In the beauty of His light |
|
Would you obey His word |
|
Every day and every night |
|
We will never know just what the Lord |
|
Has to bestow upon His children |
|
Until we give Him complete control |
|
Give Him your, your heart |
|
And your mind, your mind, your mind |
|
Give Him your spirit, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
Your soul, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
Give Him your thoughts, give Him your ways |
|
Your desire, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
Just give Him, give Him |
|
Give Him your body and your soul |
