“Blessed are you, LORD,
God of Israel our father,
from eternity to eternity.
Yours, LORD, are greatness and might,
majesty, victory, and splendor.
For all in heaven and on earth is yours;
yours, LORD, is kingship;
you are exalted as head over all.
Riches and glory are from you,
and you have dominion over all.
In your hand are power and might;
it is yours to give greatness and strength to all.
and you have dominion over all.
In your hand are power and might;
it is yours to give greatness and strength to all.
Therefore, our God, we give you thanks
and we praise the majesty of your name.
and we praise the majesty of your name.
“But who am I, and who are my people, that we should have the means to contribute so freely? For everything is from you, and what we give is what we have from you. For before you we are strangers and travelers, like all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without a future. LORD our God, all this wealth that we have brought together to build you a house for your holy name comes from you and is entirely yours. I know, my God, that you put hearts to the test and that you take pleasure in integrity. With a whole heart I have willingly given all these things, and now with joy I have seen your people here present also giving to you generously. LORD, God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep such thoughts in the hearts and minds of your people forever, and direct their hearts toward you. Give to my son Solomon a wholehearted desire to keep your commandments, precepts, and statutes, that he may carry out all these plans and build the palace for which I have made preparation.”
Then David told the whole assembly, “Now bless the LORD your God!” And the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their ancestors, bowing down in homage before the LORD and before the king. On the following day they brought sacrifices and burnt offerings to the LORD, a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, together with their libations and many other sacrifices for all Israel; and on that day they ate and drank in the LORD’s presence with great rejoicing."
1 Chronicles 29: 10-22
There are many things that we need to let go of. In our final days on earth, we must surrender everything to God.

Take Lord Receive - lyrics included - sung by Maureen - YouTube
1. Take, Lord, receive all my liberty,
My memory, understanding, my entire will.
Refrain:
You have given all to me, now I return it.
3. Take, Lord, receive, all is Yours now.
Dispose of it, wholly according to Your will
