A Servant's Prayer

This morning I was at Ladies Time Out and a lady by the name of Helen (Miller) Klassen was singing for us. She's written some beautiful songs but this one in particular really spoke to my heart. It is called the Servant's Prayer. She wrote it to a missionary couple who works somewhere in the world where they can't be contacted. Very powerful words.

Servant's Prayer

Lord I desire a heart that is true

Free from my selfish motives and pride.

A heart that will humbly and freely serve You,

Draw daily strength as in You I abide.

Make me a servant that's faithful to You.

One who sees others the way that You do.

Your sevant, I want to let you work through me.

Help me be a servant faithful to Thee.

And if this old world should lure me away

Give me a passion to turn back to You.

Remind me dear Lord of the price that You paid.

Just how much You love me, You've already proved.

Make me a servant that's faithful to You.

One who sees others the way that You do.

Your servant, I want to let you work through me.

Help me be a servant faithful to Thee.

In all that I do each day that I live.

I pray through whatever You ask of me.

The love that You give will touch those I serve.

Lord I desire to glorify Thee.

Make me a servant that's faithful to You.

One who sees others the way that You do.

Your servant, I want to let you work through me.

Help me be a servant faithful to Thee.

Listening to that song, I realized that the song wasn't just for missionaries across the world or those that served in places where no one could contact them. It was a song for each one of us here to who are serving the Lord. As Helen sang that song, it was like she was singing from my heart as well. Those words have been my personal prayer many a time - Lord make me a servant that's faithful to You, I want to let You work through me, I want to glorify You Lord in the things that I do and say and I want to humbly and freely serve you without any selfish motives and pride. I daily need to draw strength from You God - I desire a heart that is true and I can only obtain that through You. When I get caught up in all the false hopes this world has to offer, Lord that I would quickly turn back to you and be reminded how much You love me and what You did for me. Thank You God for blessing me with this song today.
