The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:1 Lord, in everything I do
let me always follow You;
let the moments of my days
overflow with endless praise;
take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Your love;
every move that I shall make,
Lord, direct the steps I take.
2 Lord, with all Your people here
You invite me to draw near;
Lord, accept the gifts I bring,
Lord, accept the praise I sing.
Take my lips and let them speak
of Your goodness through the week;
let me echo this refrain
till I come to You again.
3 As I listen to Your call,
Lord, I want to give my all;
take my heart and mind in use
every power You shall choose;
all I have has come from You
and I offer back to You
only what was Yours before:
take my life for evermore.
