Make Me Ready

(album: Friends For Life - 1987)

Got a feeling that something good is coming
Could be waiting at the door
Give me ears so that I can hear You knock
Make me ready

Situations may come across my pathway
Not designed to be ignored
I need a heart that will feel another's pain
Make me ready
Ready Lord

Give me feet that will go where You are leading
I want to be there when You call
Give me hands that reach out to touch the world
Make me ready

Never thought that I could be the one
To be a part of Your plan
An instrument of Your hand
When I think of all that You have done
I want to follow You
It's the least that I can do
Make me ready
Ready Lord
Ready

Been too long on the wrong side of compassion
Don't want to live there anymore
Give me eyes that see another's pain
Make me ready
Ready Lord

Never thought that I could be the one
To be a part of Your plan
An instrument of Your hand
When I think of all that You have done
I want to follow You
It's the least that I can do
Make me ready
Make me ready

Don't let me be satisfied
With anything less than the flow of Your life
Strip away all but You
And be seen in whatever I do
