I yield to Thee, Savior, forsaking my all, From sinful things now I will part; To Thee I surrender, for mercy I call, Come, take the first place in my heart.
Refrain: Oh, take the first place in my heart, Oh, take the first place in my heart; I open the door, come in, I implore; Lord, take the first place in my heart.
Oh, 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.
