Lyrics
Pre-Chorus: [Strings swell, pedal steel cries]
‘Cause nobody loves me like You do
And nobody paid the price but You
So if You’ll have me…
Chorus: [FULL SWING - choir joins, cymbals swell]
TAKE MY LIFE, IT’S YOURS TONIGHT
HALLELUJAH! I’M YOURS FOR LIFE
TAKE MY HEART, MAKE IT BRAND NEW
AMEN! ‘CAUSE I BELONG TO YOU
Heavenly Father, I adore You
HALLELUJAH! I’M ON MY KNEES
No more runnin’, no more roamin’
AMEN! You’re all I need
Verse 2: [Stand-up bass solo, brushed snare, crooner phrasing]
Heavenly Father, You restored me
When I was broke and down to my last dime
Heavenly Father, You adored me
Before I knew Your name or gave You my time
I dealt in lies, I drank in vain
But Your mercy washed away the stain
So here’s my hand, here’s all I am…
Humbly offer my life to You
Pre-Chorus: [Horns sneak in, tasteful]
‘Cause nobody saves me like You do
And nobody craved me ‘til You
So if You’ll take me…
Chorus: [BIGGER - add tremolo guitar, choir “AMEN” answers]
TAKE MY LIFE, IT’S YOURS TONIGHT
HALLELUJAH! I’M YOURS FOR LIFE
TAKE MY HEART, MAKE IT BRAND NEW
AMEN! ‘CAUSE I BELONG TO YOU
Heavenly Father, I adore You
HALLELUJAH! I’M ON MY KNEES
No more runnin’, no more roamin’
AMEN! You’re all I need
Bridge: [HALF-TIME, just piano + voice, then build]
Spoken - like Dino at 2am in a chapel:
You didn’t want my money… You wanted me.
You didn’t want my fame… You wanted my name written in Your Book.
Romans says _“offer your bodies as a living sacrifice”_…
Well Father, here’s mine — wrinkled suit, broken past, and all.
Sung - croon it soft, then let it soar:
If angels have a last-call, let ‘em pour one out for grace
‘Cause this prodigal just found his place
At *Your throne*… at *Your throne*…
HALLELUJAH! I’M HOME!
AMEN! I’M HOME!
Final Chorus: [MODULATE TO D - strings & choir FULL, lights up]
TAKE MY LIFE, IT’S YOURS TONIGHT
HALLELUJAH! I’M YOURS FOR LIFE
TAKE MY HEART, MAKE IT BRAND NEW
AMEN! ‘CAUSE I BELONG TO YOU
Heavenly Father, I adore You
HALLELUJAH! I’M ON MY KNEES
No more runnin’, no more roamin’
AMEN! You’re all I need…
Outro: [Back to C, brushes, soft “oohs”, last croon]
Heavenly Father… I adore You…
HALLELUJAH… soft AMEN.
