ANTHEM:  Make My Life a Sacrifice by Joseph M. Martin

Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.  Take my voice and let me sing, always, only for my King.  Make my life a sacrifice of praise to You, bringing honor to Your name in all I do.  As I bow before Your throne, bend my will to fit Your own.  Make my life a sacrifice of praise.  Make my life a vessel to receive Your grace, purified to be for You a holy place.  As I bow before Your throne, bend my will to fit Your own.  Make my life a sacrifice of praise.  Let the music of Your love within me sing through the words of every anthem that I bring.  Let every alleluia that I raise be a living sacrifice of praise.  Let every hymn be for Your glory.  Let every song be from the heart. Lord, let me share your grace through music.  Let my life reflect Your art.  Make my life an instrument of joyous song, singing of Your faithfulness my whole life long.  As I bow before Your throne, bend my will to fit Your own.  Lord, make my life a sacrifice of praise!  Make our lives a sacrifice, sharing songs of grace and life.  As we bow before Your throne, bend our will to fit your own.  Make my life a sacrifice of praise. [Jan McGuire, incorporating the tune Hendon by Henri A. C. Malan and text by Frances R. Havergal]
