Representative Text

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.

3 O let the fire, descending
Just now upon my soul,
Consume my humble offering,
And cleanse and make me whole!

4 I’m thine, O blessèd Jesus,
Washed by thy precious blood;
Now seal me by thy Spirit
A sacrifice to God.
