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.
