It wasn't me who chose your name, but you were Lord who called me first.
It wasn't me who loved you, Lord, but you loved me through my worst.
Before I knew to seek your face, before I felt your saving grace,
you loved me, Lord, among the crowd, and by your hand I was called out.
Lord, use my hands to serve your will, to lift the weak, the lost, to heal,
to be the ears for those who can't hear.
Lord, use my hands to bring them near.
Let me be eyes for those who can't see, a voice of truth for those in need.
It wasn't me who chose your name, but you were Lord who called me first.
It wasn't me who loved you, Lord, but you loved me through my worst.
Before I knew to seek your face,
before I felt your saving grace, you loved me, Lord, among the crowd,
and by your hand I was called out.
Send me, Lord, to every place to share your love, to show your grace,
to feed the hungry, to quench their thirst, to bring the weary a life rebirth.
Let me bring warmth where hearts grow cold, and healing touch for broken souls.
It wasn't me who chose your name, but you were Lord who called me first.
It wasn't me who loved you, Lord, but you loved me through my worst.
Before I knew to seek your face, before I felt your saving grace,
you loved me, Lord, among the crowd, and by your hand I was called out.
Send me, Lord, to light the way through darkest nights,
to brighten day, to comfort those in pain and loss,
to share the hope found at your cross.
Let me bring joy where sorrow stays, to lift up hearts in endless praise.
Your love has found me, weak as I am,
your mercy holds me, safe in your hand.
No greater calling could there be than serving you who chose me free.
It wasn't me who chose your name, but you were Lord who called me first.
It wasn't me who loved you, Lord, but you loved me through my worst.
Before I knew to seek your face, before I felt your saving grace,
you loved me, Lord, among the crowd, and by your hand I was called out.
Lord, send me forth to every land, to bring you peace, to lend a hand.
Through every trial, hold on still, to love and serve within your will.
Your love has found me, weak as I am, to light the way through darkest nights,
to brighten day, to comfort those in pain and loss,
to comfort those in pain and suffer within your will.
