What I Give
by Barbara Philbrook

What I give is all that I am.
Father "Thank You" for the salvation plan.

Take my life and find a use for me,
that I may forever serve You willingly.

Change my heart and fill me with love,
so I may share Your message from above.

Help me to constantly know Thy will,
doing things for You gives me such a thrill.

Make me hear all that You have to say,
so that I may not linger nor stray.

Make others life and their eventual plight,
be my main concern day and night.

Give me the knowledge that I may teach,
the lost about the new heights to reach.

Give me a caring, aching heart,
so from seeking salvation of others I never depart.

Make me into a useful and resilient tool,
even if it is another's foot stool.

Let me serve You is what I ask,
it can be even the most menial task.

What I give is the life Jesus' death bought,
please allow me to serve You as I ought.
