                       ............
                CONSECRATION/ Jn 1.3 SUPPLICATION
           Let me be, oh, my Lord and my God, all for You,
       The most pleasant perfume that comes from the flowers;
            Let me be, oh, my loving Savior, in my song,
           Like the lovely singing that the birds can offer.
        Let me be, standing in your presence, divine Jesus Christ,
          The most sweet and tender melody only for You
                  //Let me be, I want to be . ..//
                        CHORUS
             Cause for gladness, a reason for gladness,
            And the precious smile of Your holy Servant,
                Oh, my Savior, I can't be a burden,
          Or the cause of sadness for the one who loves me.
                Oh, Beloved, I want to be like You,
             Help me to obtain it, help me to be faithful;
     Please don't leave me, I want to be useful, never be a hindrance,
                     I want to be useful.
                           2
           Let me be pure, holy, and pleasant, all for You,
            I will find in my soul the most noble off'ring;
          Just for you who has given me love uncompared,
          You have given me life, though I don't deserve it.
       Oh, my Lord, I can only ask that You might hear my voice,
           Because You're the reason I am everything I am.
                    //1 only want to be . ..//
