"I AM JUST AN INSTRUMENT"

I am just an instrument
That His Great Will commands
Each thing I appear to do
Is guided by His Hands

Even as I write this
He makes my pen to speak
When I think about His Home
It makes my mind go weak

We cannot see His purpose
As we live life day to day
But when we need to seek His Help
We simply have to pray

Dear God, let me live my life
As fully as I can
Let me help contribute to
The Brotherhood of Man

And if I should offend You
As we both know that I might
Help me find my way back
Into Your Gracious Light

And for my past sins, please Dear God
Forgive me if You can
All I really want to do
Is help my fellow man

I am just an instrument
That His Great Will commands
Each thing I appear to do
Is guided by His Hands

Dedicated to my
Beautiful Mother
She indeed was one of
His Instruments!
