The Weak Worker\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ambassador-at-large should be my role<\/span><\/p>\n

With headquarters moving through my day,<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflecting best my Savior is my goal<\/span><\/p>\n

Though at times I fail Him miserably.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why I\u2019m kept on the payroll, I don\u2019t know.<\/span><\/p>\n

I learn but slight, am quick with slip of tongue<\/span><\/p>\n

And sometimes feel my progress is but slow.<\/span><\/p>\n

His patience is incomprehensible<\/span><\/p>\n

His continual love a great wonder<\/span><\/p>\n

How can His thoughts toward me be so high,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When at times my life seems one great blunder?<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord, use me to expand Your kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use me in spite of myself and my failure<\/span><\/p>\n

To help prepare more people for heaven,<\/span><\/p>\n

To see crowds of people most peculiar.<\/span><\/p>\n
