| Lord, Take the First Place (by B. E. Warren) I yield to thee, Savior, forsaking my all, From sinfulthings now I will part; To thee I surrender, for mercy I call, Come, take the first place in my heart. O come, gentle Spirit, don't leave me, I pray, From thee I will never depart; I come to thee now, for I cannot delay, Lord, take the first place in my heart. I cannot be lost, Lord, for thee I will live, Forgiveness, O Savior, impart; If I will confess thou wilt freely forgive, And take the first place in my heart. The joybells of heaven will ring in my soul, My Savior, Redeemer, thou art; To thee I surrender, wilt thou make me whole? Take now the first place in my heart. O take the first place in my heart, O take the first place in my heart; I open the door, Come in, I implore; Lord, take the first place in my heart. |
