Author: H. J. Zelley Hymnal: Concordia #188 (1918) Hymnal Title: Concordia Refrain First Line: Bless me, Lord, and make me a blessing Lyrics: 1 I do not ask to choose my path,
Lord, lead me in Thy way;
Inspire each tho't and prompt each word,
And make me a blessing today.
Chorus:
Bless me, Lord, and make me a blessing.
I'll gladly Thy message convey;
Use me to help some poor, needy soul,
And make me a blessing today.
2 Around me, Lord, are sinful men,
Who scorn and disobey;
Use me to win them from their sins,
And make me a blessing today. [Chorus]
3 To those who once Thy love have known,
But now are far astray;
Help me to lead them back to Thee,
And make me a blessing today. [Chorus]
4 Some saints of Thine are in distress,
And for deliv'rance pray;
O let me go and help them, Lord,
And make me a blessing today. [Chorus]
5 Whatever errand Thou hast, Lord,
Send me, and I'll obey;
Use me in any way Thou wilt,
And make me a blessing today. [Chorus] Topics: Work and Missions Work; Missions; Youth Languages: English Tune Title: MAKE ME A BLESSING TO-DAY
