LAIR OF THE PENMAN: Send Me Oh Lord

Send Me Oh Lord

I prayed my fervent prayer of plea

that my life would be an offering

unto the glory of my Savior

with whispered wish of sincerity,

“send me, oh Lord.”

 

But when the door opened

so suddenly and unexpected

for me to help a wounded soul

where no one by God

would see my hand’s touch,

there were just so many other demands,

surely someone else would be called,

next time I would be ready,

again uttering my desire,

“send me, oh Lord.”

 

Then came the day

when I was asked

to serve where it might require sacrifice

even perhaps some pain,

was at a time when I had a new job

just knew that was a divine blessing,

no way to say yes without a risk of loss,

once more I say no,

convinced the Lord would understand.

 

Oh so many days

some other opportunity would come

for sharing or serving in a special way

only life just had so many distractions

ever persuaded there was plenty of time.

 

One day I slept and death visited,

my soul was so tired

from all the ways I had feed my own needs,

when my Savior came to take me home

never here the sound of His knocking.
