May I Serve Thee

Text and music by Tammy Simister Robinson

Prayerfully

1. Lord, take these hands;
Let me touch a life and serve Thee willingly,
Lord, take these ears;
Let me hear Thy words and humbly follow Thee.
I desire to rely
On the One whose mighty power can do anything.
Simple gifts I now bring;
These I offer to set before my King.
May I serve Thee.

2. Lord, take these lips;
Let the words I speak be formed at Thy command.
Grant me the will
To gain knowledge all hearts can understand.
I desire to rely
On the One whose mighty power can do anything.
Simple gifts I now bring;
These I offer to set before my King.
May I serve Thee.

3. Give my heart song;
Let the notes combine to ring eternal truth,
Lifting my soul,
Ev’ry moment let my song begin anew.
I desire to rely
On the One whose mighty power can do anything.
All I have I now bring;
To set before my Savior, Lord, and King.
May I serve Thee,
May I serve Thee, Lord.
May I humbly live for Thee.
