Take Me Now

Take me now, as I am nothing

Lead me where You need me be

In humility, I kneel, surrendered

To Your highest Will for me.

Grant of me that I may offer

This gift to You; my last small tears

All I have left, I surrender

Life has stripped my finest years

And yet, this cup, not passed from me

I drink, refilled with Hope Divine

Surrender to You is true freedom

And all You have, You have made mine.

So take me now; this cup is empty

Take me, ever forward, still

This prayer is to be surrendered

Break me; make me what You will.
