Verse 1:
Take this life
Forgive me for the words I spoke
before they even left my throat.
My heart would rather rebel than obey.
Forgive me for this life of sin I know
I need a new beginning Lord
I've gone astray.
Chorus:
Take this life make it yours. Do what's right oh Lord.
You got to take this take this life.
You got to make it make it right.
Verse 2:
Take my flesh take my pride take the sins I try to hide, take my doubts take my fears all the pain and all the tears and I fall down on my knees Lord I'm beggin ya please Lord take the shame take the blame it's all the same.
Take this life
Make it right
Take this life
Bridge:
I don't want to live a life that's compromising to the king
I'd rather live for you than live for me or anything
Take this life and all my hidden sins make it yours. Do what's right and everything within oh Lord. You got to take this take this life. You got to make it make it right.
