Take All of Me
Take All of Me
by Marty Sampson
You broke the night like the sun
And healed my heart with Your great love
Any trouble I couldn't bear
You lifted me upon Your shoulders
Love that's stronger
Love that covers sin
And takes the weight of the world
I love You
All of my hope is in You
Jesus Christ take my life
Take all of me
You stand on mountain tops with me
With You I walk through the valleys
You gave Your only Son for me
Your grace is all I rely on
I love You so, and I give up my heart to say
I need You so, my everything

Lord, help me sing this song. Help me sing this song from depths of my heart and not only from my mind. Help me make this song more of a prayer than a mere utterance.
I want to sing this to You. But all I can I ever do is hum it.
I don’t have the audacity to say the lyrics. I’d rather weep.
I weep for my inability to keep my promises. I weep for my own unfaithfulness. I weep because one moment I praise you with my lips, then on the other I curse with my mouth.
“Take all of me” is such a strong phrase, Lord.
How can I say “All of my hope is in you” when at the back of my mind I have other plans when Yours won’t work?
I want to sing this song badly. It gives me goosebumps upon only hearing the intro.
But its words are all too strong for me.
I can sing, yes. But can I really?
So now, all I ask is for You to bring me to a place of surrender.
Then there, armed with nothing but tears, fall at Your feet and truly worship.
