The Celebration Hymnal ‎#670

670. Make Me a Blessing

1 Out in the highways and byways of life,
Many are weary and sad.
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
Making the sorrowing glad.

Refrain:
Make me a blessing; make me a blessing,
Out of my life may Jesus shine.
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today.

2 Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,
Tell of His pow'r to forgive.
Others will trust Him if only you prove
True, every moment you live. [Refrain]

3 Give as 'twas given to you in your need;
Love as the Master loved you.
Be to the helpless a helper indeed;
Unto your mission be true. [Refrain]
