Something's About To Happen
by Barbara Philbrook

Something's about to happen I can tell you,
and I pray that I will be allowed to partake in it too.

I want to be part of the wonderful things planned,
I want to be shaped by the Potter's hand.

No matter how much spinning or reshaping I need,
I pray that God will constantly proceed.

I want to be a vessel that can be used in some way,
just serving my Lord day by day.

No need to be famous or attract attention,
Lord I don't even need to have my name mentioned.

Just to know that I am of service to You,
Lord do whatever it takes, whatever You must do.

I can sweep the dirt or wash the floor,
just so You know I love You and will forevermore.

I can do the wash and hang out the clothes,
I can change the babies and wipe a runny nose.

I can cook and sew and make a craft or two,
Lord I will do anything that You ask me to.

Just let me be of service in the big master plan,
let me do anything for You Lord, anything I can.

Something is about to happen and I desire to be a part of it too,
Lord I completely submit myself to You.
