Make Me an Instrument

Does anyone remember the words to this song?

I can't remember all the verses. I know the chorus, but can't think of the words to the verses.

That song is a wonderful song to sing as you pray. I used to sing it all the time as a special. It's been so many years, that I can't think of all the words.

Sister, can you give me the chorus are thinking about? I'm not sure that the song that comes to my mind is the same one you are after.

Verse 1:

Flowers have the sunshine,
And the earth has the rain.
Lord, you know I am nothing,
Without your Spirit my life is in vain.

So mold me and make me,
Help me to be more like you,
And make me an instrument,
Of love brand new.

Chorus
Make me an instrument of love today,
And may I remember your sweet children, Lord...
Every time that I pray.

Let me see the good sides, oh yes,
And the bad sides of all my days,
And make me an instrument of love your way.

Alternate chorus:

Make me an instrument of love today,
And may I remember your sweet children, Lord...
Everytime that I pray.

Let me show some kindness, Lord,
To everyone that I meet each day.
And make me an instrument of love your way.

Verse 2:
Some people speak about your love,
But to them I know it's just talk,
'Cause when I caught a glimpse of your real love,
You know it was hanging on an Old Rugged Cross.

So, let me be like my Jesus,
As He prayed, "My Father, forgive,"
And make me an instrument,
Of your love your way.

I think this is a song CC1's wife used to sing...I think I have it on a Music Conference cd...somewhere, but I'm not sure where it is. It sure is a pretty song...and very meaningful...

You are the bomb!!!!!!!!!!

I love this song.

Just look at the words.

I want to be an instrument for Him. When I used to sing this song. I closed my eyes and sang it to Jesus. I didn't look around to see what people were doing or how they were responding, I didn't really care. The only response I wanted was from the one I was singing to.
