There's a Place for Me

Author: George W. Lyon Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: It may not be for me to know Refrain First Line: Yes, there's a place for me, for me I know Lyrics: 1. It may not be for me to know Just where I can labor the best, But in my humble way I’ll try To lift up the weak and oppressed. Refrain Yes, there’s a place for me, for me I know, Where I can help, can help by deed or word, Bringing the weak, the lost and perishing, Into the kingdom of my blessèd Lord. 2. Perhaps the words that I may speak Will comfort some sorrowing heart, And let the blessèd sunshine in Where once it was lonely and dark. [Refrain] 3. Today, perchance, a precious soul Is out on the highway of sin, That I may clasp with friendly hand And bring to the bright fold again. Refrain] 4. Yes, yes, somewhere in this wide world A mission I have to fulfill; Then let me labor where God calls, And faithfully do His great will. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [It may not be for me to know]
