I've been reading through "Shadow of the Almighty" by Elisabeth Elliot. This was inspired by what I've been reading:
God I pray, light these sticks of my life for You
Let all that I am be consumed
Make me a flame
Make me a flame
Take my life, for my life is not mine to save
Have it all Lord, and have Your way
Make me a flame
Make me a flame
Make me a burning flame
All-consumed for Your name
No matter how brief my life may be
And when this life is done
May it be Your name on my tongue
Jesus, for You I give everything
I'm no fool to give what I cannot keep
To gain more and more of Thee
Make me a flame
Make me a flame
Send me out, to light other souls for You
Let me make known to them Your truth
Make me a flame
Make me a flame
Make me a burning flame
All-consumed for Your name
No matter how brief my life may be
And when this life is done
May it be Your name on my tongue
Jesus, for You I give everything

I love it all, especially the last 3 lines.
Incredibly beautiful! I agree the last stanza is awesome :)
beautiful as always :) i can definitely see this as being lyrics to a song ;)
i love this. Life is quite short and that focus can really be what allows us to be molded more into the image of Christ here on earth. I want to live with the eternal and heavenly mindset more. I pray this same prayer girl!!
Light us up Christ!
