Lord Let Us Be Your Hands

Lord there are so many souls that need your mighty touch
You know my heart's desire to help but I can only do so much
O Lord I ask you to raise up an army of your own
Filled with your love and mercy like they have never known
Give to them your power so together they can stand
In the gap for those who need to reach your outstretched hand
Remind us all from time to time though we all have needs to bear
Please let your spirit fill our hearts with your tender loving care
Help us to remember the way we treat someone
Is the way we're treating you when it's all said and done
Help us not to just sit by and say "you'll be ok"
Let us be your loving hands that gently guide the way
