Living Hymns ‎#107

107. Consecration

1 My body, soul, and spirit,
Jesus, I give to thee,
A consecrated offering,
Thine evermore to be.

Refrain:
My all is on the altar,
I’m waiting for the fire;
Waiting, waiting, waiting,
I’m waiting for the fire.

2 O Jesus, mighty Saviour,
I trust in thy great name,
I look for thy salvation,
Thy promise now I claim. [Refrain]

3 Oh, let the fire, descending
Just now upon my soul,
Consume my humble offering,
And cleanse and make me whole. [Refrain]

4 I’m thine, O blessed Jesus,
Wash'd by thy precious blood,
Now seal me by thy Spirit,
A sacrifice to God. [Refrain]
