You have longed for sweet peace 

And for faith to increase 

You have earnestly, so fervently 

Oh, you really prayed 

Oh, yes you have 



But you cannot find rest 

Nor be perfectly blessed 

Until on the altar, until it's laid 



Is your all on the altar of sacrifice? 

Is it laid? 

Your heart, does the spirit control? 



Now, you can only 

You can only be blessed 

And have peace and sweet rest 

After you have yielded unto the Lord 

Your body and your soul 

Oh yes 



Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid? 

Your heart, does the spirit control? 

You can only, only, only be blessed 

And have peace and sweet rest (Peace and sweet rest) 

After you have yielded him 

Yielded him your body and your soul 

Oh 



That's all he wants 

Everything, everything, everything 

So, would you walk with the Lord (Walk with the Lord) 

In the beauty of his light 

Would you obey his word (obey his word) 

Every day and every night 



We will never know just what the Lord 

Has to bestow upon his children until we 

Give him complete control 



Give him your heart (Give him your heart) 

And your mind, your mind, your mind 

Give him your spirit 

(That's what he wants, that's he needs, that's he wants, that's what he needs. Yeah, yeah, yeah) 

Your soul 

(He wants your soul. That's what he wants, that's what he need, that's what he wants, that's what he needs.) 

Give him your thoughts, give him your ways, your desire 

Just give him your body and your soul (your soul)
