MY PRAYER

by Samuel Williams
(Gladstone Or. 97027)

LORD, LORD, WON'T YOU USE ME,
OH LORD, WON'T YOU PLEASE USE ME.
WITH ALL MY WEAKNESS,
YOUR VESSEL I'LL BE,
OH MY LORD, WON'T YOU PLEASE USE ME.

THERE ARE SO MANY IN DARKNESS AND FEAR,
LORD, THEY DON'T KNOW YOU,
BUT YOU HOLD THEM DEAR.
YOU TOLD US TO TELL THEM,
SALVATION IS NEAR.
NOW GIVE YOUR BOLDNESS,
SO THEY MAY HEAR.

I'VE PROMISED TO SERVE YOU ALL OF MY DAYS,
JUST GIVE ME YOUR HEART,
AND TEACH ME YOUR WAYS.
DON'T LET SELF ROB ME,
AND CAUSE ME DELAYS.
I HAVE ONE PURPOSE,
YOUR GLORIES TO PRAISE.

LORD, LORD, WON'T YOU USE ME,
OH LORD, WON'T YOU PLEASE USE ME.
WITH ALL MY WEAKNESS,
YOUR VESSEL I'LL BE,
OH MY LORD, WON'T YOU PLEASE USE ME.

HELP ME TO TELL ALL, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE,
AND HELP ME KEEP GOING,
TILL ONE MORE IS WON.
I'LL STAND FOR FOR YOU,
TILL THE BATTLE DONE,
THEN I'LL HAVE HONORED,
BOTH FATHER AND SON.

THIS IS MY PRAYER, LORD, THIS IS MY PLEA,
THIS POOR BROKEN VESSEL,
YOUR SERVANT TO BE.
TO MARCH DAILY ONWARD,
TO GIVE THEM YOUR KEY,
TO TOUCH THEIR HEARTS,
SO THEY CAN SEE.
