Speak Through Me

Lord, let me be a witness

To the souls You bring my way.

Be it ever so simple,

Let me speak Your words I pray.

Let my life portray the meaning

Of the love You give to all.

Not judging, but ever praying

That upon Your Name they’ll call.

Let my will become a shadow

As Your will becomes my own.

I lay my will before You,

As I kneel before Your throne.

Use me to reach the hurting, Lord –

To lead them to Your face.

When they look into my eyes, Lord,

Put Your image in my place.

Lord, let me be Your witness.

Help me speak Your words I pray.

No matter the cost before me,

I choose to walk Your way.
