This Sunday we are singing the old hymn text "Take My Life, That I May Be" in two distinct ways. With the congregation, a bright hispanic-styled setting will be sung that projects a feeling of the joy found in commitment to Christ. For the adult choir's anthem, we will be using a very introspective, personal setting of the same text that reinforces the idea of the personal nature of that same commitment to Christ.
"Take my will and make it thine;
it will be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne"
--Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879
