Listen from:
CO 6:19-20{The more we by faith and experience realize that we are His own in life and death, the more willing we shall be that He should do what He will with His own and the more sure we shall be that He will do the very best with it and make the very most of it. May we increasingly find the strength and rest of this, in our God-given claim upon God. "I am Thine, save me!" And "He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will rest in His love.”
Not your own! To Him ye owe all your life and all your love;
Live, that ye His praise may show, who is yet all praise above.
Every day and every hour, every gift and every power,
Consecrate to Him alone, who hath claimed you for His own.
Teach us, Master, how to give all we have and are to Thee;
Grant us, Savior, while we live, wholly, only, Thine to be.
Henceforth be our calling high, Thee to serve and glorify;
Ours no longer, but Thine own, Thine forever, Thine alone!
