I often hear Christians say, 'I want to work for God, I long for Him to use me'. If that's you at this moment in time, then this poems for you. I used to say the same thing myself, until I realised that if you put yourself at His disposal, He'll use you in ways you cannot Imagine. If you look you'll see He already uses you when He wants and in what ways He wants. After all He's in control of your life isn't He?

Lord I want to serve
-
Lord 1 want to serve you,
But I don't know where to start.
I'm not much good at anything,
In fact I'm wretched at heart.
-
I always say the wrong thing,
Misunderstandings my middle name.
I doubt my abilities for anything,
If anything's wrong I'm to blame.
-
But just as I am I come to you.
Yes with warts and all.
I'm waiting very patiently
Oh Lord, when will you call?
-
Surely there's some work,
That I could do for you.
Even if its sweeping up,
For you the job I'll do.
-
I know, I'll just trust you,
I'll just take my brush in hand,
And while I'm sweeping happily,
On your promises I'll stand
-
You said you'd never leave me,
And I believe that's true.
So Lord when you think it's time,
I'm listening for you.
