Lord, Find Me a Task

Lord, find me a task, great or small-
Something I can do for you.
I will go where You want me to go,
Do what You want me to do.

I would travel to darkest continents
Pitch my tent there in the dirt
Until I had ministered to Your people
And comforted those who hurt.

I would ride out on a camel
To the desert dry and dreary
To tell the world of You
Though I might be tired and weary.

I would gladly die for Jesus
I would give my life for You
So find for me, Dear Father
A task that I may do.

I will do what You need me to do
Heal the sick, the lame,the blind--

But….Lord teaching kids in Sunday school
Was not what I had in mind…

Thena

(Written in the 1980's when I was SS superintendent and trying to find teachers..lol0

Until I reached the end, I was all misty until the last stanza, then you made me laugh. Very cute. Love it!

That was a great bait and switch. I too was pulled in by the sincerity of the message, then tickled by the joke. Well done sweet lady. All glory to the Father.

If i'd had you for a sunday school teacher...well never mind you're here now and that's all that matters.
God Bless you.

I guess I must be the only one who understands and feels the same way. Lord love you Miss Thena. You always write just the way I feel. I think we are much alike in some ways.

God bless and keep you
