When all is said and done

Take our dreams,

Take our plans and schemes,

Take our hopes and shape our destinies.

When we give them to you we are free.

Make us Lord, an instrument of peace.

Hold us fast in your hand so we can know release.

You save us Lord to change us

You mold and rearrange us

Reform us and conform us to the image of your Son

Take us Lord and break us

Shape us Lord and make us

Into the likeness of your Holy One

So we become like Christ when all is said and done!

There is no sacrifice like the one that you have known

You bought us with a price so we are not our own

The working of your will

Consumes our hearts and lives until

We do what we were created to do

We are placed in ChristÝ to become like you!

You save us Lord to change us

You mold and rearrange us

Reform us and conform us to the image of your Son

Take us Lord and break us

Shape us Lord and make us

Into the likeness of your Holy One

So we become like Christ when all is said and done!
