Author: W. C. Martin Hymnal: United Praise #50 (1908) First Line: Does God need me when all things are his own? Refrain First Line: He needs me! Oh, yes, he needs me Lyrics: 1 Does God need me when all things are his own?
The earth is but his footstool and the heavens are his throne;
The sun and moon and far-flung stars make haste to do his will,
And mighty angels speed abroad his wishes to fulfill.
Refrain:
He needs me! Oh, yes, he needs me,
For he says so in his word!
Oh, gladly then I give myself, my all unto the Lord.
2 Does God need me, the creature of his hand,
When seraphs are about his throne to do his least command?
So feeble and unworthy as I know myself to be,
It does not seem almighty God has any need of me! [Refrain]
3 Does God need me, oh, can it surely be?
Oh, then I give my self to serve him thro’ eternity;
I only ask that he shall with his mighty strength endow,
And he shall find me ready for the altar of the plow. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Does God need me when all things are his own?]
