| 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. |

| 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 Jan P |
