Size:

With this heart open wide
From the depths from the heights
I will bring a sacrifice

With these hands lifted high
Hear my song, hear my cry
I will bring a sacrifice
I will bring a sacrifice

I lay me down I’m not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down
Oh..
Hand on my heart this much is true
There’s no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down

Oh..
Lay me down, lay me down

Letting go of my pride
Giving up all my rights
Take this life and let it shine
Take this life and let it shine

It will be my joy to say Your will Your way
It will be my joy to say Your will Your way
It will be my joy to say Your will Your way always
(repeat)
