The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#123

123. Make Me a Channel of Blessing

1 In this wide world there are hearts that are sad,
Christ has a message of love that makes glad,
Lord, may I quickly this message convey:
“Make me a channel of blessing today.”

Refrain:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Help me to shed forth some light by the way;
Use me to find some poor wand’rer astray;
“Make me a channel of blessing today.”

2 Help me to carry this message of cheer,
Telling lost sinners that Jesus is near,
Seeking to save them from sin’s dreary way;
“Make me a channel of blessing today.” [Refrain]

3 Many heart-broken ones dwelling alone
Never thy wonderful comfort have known;
Quick to their side may I hasten away;
“Make me a channel of blessing today.” [Refrain]

4 So may my life every moment be spent,
May naught within me thy Spirit prevent;
This be my pray’r while on earth I shall stay,
“Make me a channel of blessing today.” [Refrain]
