If You Can Use Me

If You Can Use Me

If You can use these hands of mine
To do Your work each day,
Then take them, Lord, and keep them too
To build Your work, I pray.

If You can use these lips of mine
To speak Your words of love,
Then take them, Lord, and keep them, too,
For words that point above.

If You can use these feet of mine
To run Your errands here,
Then take them, Lord, and keep them, too,
And make the pathway clear.

If You can use this strength of mine
To show Your tender care,
Then take it, Lord, and keep it, too,
Please grant my humble prayer.

If You can use this mind of mine
To magnify Your Name,
Then take it, Lord, and keep it, too,
That Yours it might remain.

If You can use this heart of mine
To praise and worship You,
Then take it, Lord, and keep it, too,
Now and my whole life through.
