God Help Me To Reach Others

God…    Please Use Me to Reach Others!

As I think of my loved ones that were around me.
I realize how many have 
gone on before me.

I hope they knew Jesus and lived for him.
I pray they all had put their faith in him!

But it’s not just my loved 
ones I need to think of.
There’s more near me that I can speak of.

A lost soul is a soul that needs to be reached.
No matter how often God has been preached.

Please help me Lord to touch those around me.
It wasn’t I, but God’s love that found me.

He called me out, to become a fisher of men.
That others may know salvation from sin!

I ask you Lord to remove whatever holds me.
I’m sorry I’ve failed you.  Please forgive me.

Convict me of any sin that may get in the way.
Of how you want to use me and what I say!

Please turn my life completely inside out.
I need your strength and grace throughout!

Reaching out to others, needs to be my goal.
Touching others for Christ and winning the lost soul!

If God is for me, who can be against me?
Here I am God!  I’m ready for you to use me!
