From Starck's - A Living Sacrifice

Heavenly Father, You have created me that I should be Your own. Dear Jesus, You have redeemed me with Your blood, that I should live Your kingdom and serve You in holiness and righteousness. O precious Holy Spirit, You have sanctified me that I should be Your dwelling place and that Christ should live in me. I shall in turn make an offering of my entire self and dedicate myself to You. I offer up to You my will; no longer do I want to accomplish what I want, but what You desire. I offer up to You my mouth, that I may praise and magnify You, and not use it in filthiness or foolish talk. I offer up to You my heart; fill it with living faith, with Your grace, with Your love, with true godliness. -- p. 162
