You Don'T Have To Be Perfect

My body may be mangled - I can't write or talk - My legs may be immobile therefore I cannot walk - My hands and arms may tremble from nerves I can't control - But there's one thing that will not change - God's Spirit is in my soul. Although I can't express in words the way I really feel - I know the love of Jesus Christ within my heart is real - I know some people look at me and think and deaf and blind - But they don't even have a clue what's going through my mind - Of course there are some times I think of how I used to be - But God and I've been talking and He has a job for me - He wants me like I am for now so people know it's true - You don't have to be perfect for God to work through you - Yes the Lord is using me just the way I am - He is my great Shepherd and I'm His precious lamb - It may not be until the day the Lord comes back again - but that will be the greatest day there has ever been That day I'll kneel before God's throne and with my voice I'll sing - then I will leap into the arms of Jesus Christ my King! Inspired By and Written For Bill Shaw Hendersonville Tennessee
