188. I do not Ask to Choose my Path

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]
