Lord, Let Me Be Your Instrument

I once was a sinner; But now I'm saved by Your grace And my desire is to please You- For in You lies my total strength. Lord, let me be Your Instrument. I know I have fallen short of Your glory Through thoughts, words.and deeds But cleanse me daily, deep within From every unrighteous act of sin And with Your Spirit Lead me Lord- Let me be Your Instrument. When troubles come and I'm about to fall Help me to listen and hear Your call To higher heights and deeper depths With purer thoughts to spiritual wealth To a mark of a higher calling in You. Use me Lord, to do Your will Let Your Love be the permanent seal' To bind me forever to the cause To stand for the Truth No matter the cost That my life might be an example Of a Christlike life, filled with Your strength Lord, Let me be Your Instrument. When others fail, and from You, turn their face Because of disbelief of Your grace Their eyes being blinded in discontent Give to me that "more -than-conquerors strength Take my hand; let me stand Boldly in Your Word and not to flinch.
