Take my heart, O Lord, Take my hopes and dreams.
Take my mind with all its plans and schemes.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory
Take my tears, my joys, my liberty.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold.
I return to you your gifts untold.

Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

When the darkness falls on my final days,

Take the very breath that sang your praise.

Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

Beautiful song, isn't it?Makes me really reflect deeply on my life. Who could ever give up his/her life without complain except for Jesus? Jesus gave up his life for us when he did not even know us. Yet I dare to say most of us cannot give up things so easily.Do we have the courage to make such sacrifices?Could we give up everything mentioned in the song?Can we really just take Jesus' love and grace and forget about all things here on Earth?Do we give up our belongings here on Earth to have richness in Heaven?Today the priest spoke of our own security blanket.The object we believe can protect us.How many of us take Jesus as out blanket?To protect us from danger and keep us safe?Why do we only turn to him when we are really desperate?I feel ashamed of myself for not being able to say I can do most of the above mentioned.Jesus gave us his everything,what more do we need?
