- Take My Life Betsy Carter 4:50
This song came from deep brokenness. I had been mocked, used, betrayed and discarded by people I loved and called my dear friends, who were Christians! I have never before or since gone through such an experience. What disillusionment! Yet Jesus gently guided me through my broken heart to a fuller submission to His will and way. Someone who I admire and has been the main inspiration for my music ministry came to me again, after numerous years, to give me that word of encouragement I needed at that dark moment. It was an encouragement to let Jesus breathe His dreams into my dreams, to give Him my dreams and let Him turn them into His dreams. Sometimes we are so despondent that it is difficult to dream. I had to work through my pain to a point where I could dream again. But the loving kindness of my Savior is ever present, healing and restoring and giving a hope and a future where there didn’t seem to be any. I love Him so!!! Thank you my Lord! And so I determined to forgive, to let it go, and get over it! Amen! And my memories are being healed.
LYRICS:
Not my will but Yours be done
Not my will but Yours be done
Take my dreams and
Breathe Your life in them
Not my will but Yours be done
Take my life
And live Your life through me
Take my heart
And give Your love through me
Take my life
And live Your life through me
Take my heart
And give Your love through me
Take my life
And breathe Your dreams in me
Not my will but Yours be done
Take my life…
