Any time we can be used of God is very special.  Imagine,
the God of the whole Universe!  That is amazing because
He is such an Wonderful, Powerful Creator!
God bless.

Finger of God

I have never liked to be pointed at or picked out of a crowd
especially when I have known I have done something bad
but the thought of having Father God’s finger selecting
me among the millions has at times made my heart so very glad.

To be singled out from millions more talented
and to know that me, He has indeed called
to do a special work for Him or
that He would permit me to minister for Him at all.

Oh, to be chosen by the Lord
what a true honor this really is
and I’ve gladly left home and land in answer to His voice
for I surely would not have wanted this calling to miss.

Father God’s finger Lord gladly I’d like
to have it now pointing at me
because of the power of your Holy Ghost
abiding within He has given me the victory.

And now, not just Your finger Lord
but Your whole hand I’ll gladly take
for I desire to walk worthy of Your calling
and if corrections are due then, certain changes I will gladly make.

Because my Father
Your blessed face is what I do seek, 
not only on Sundays will I make an appearance before Your throne
but also every day of the week.
